Startup files and MSCONFIG

Click the Start button, or on Vista and up, the globe icon in the bottom left of the task bar.  Next, type the "msconfig" inside the search box, then press enter. This is what you get.  A nice little tool to check the programs that are running and what starts up at log on.  You can disable and start services, programs here also.




You can also go to the Start button, go to control panel, then with control panel in control panel home view, look under the Programs icon and select "change startup programs".  Windows Defender starts up and this is what you get.  A more graphical representation of msconfig.
