    I've been reading on here a lot lately about removing unnecessary applications on startup. I was looking through the list in the msconfig and there's a bunch of stuff in there from cyberlink. I'm assuming I can uncheck all that, but I wasnted to check and make sure before i did. adobe acrobat also starts up automatically. i don't think I would need that either right?

    Just wanted to check before I maybe cause myself a headache for doing something I shouldn't.

    I use the free glary utilities , it has among other thing a startup manager module, click on the startup item and it will tell you if it is needed.
