To eliminate some of the icons next to the clock I went to RUN-MSCONFIG-STARTUP. Then you get a long list of STARTUP items. Most of which you cannot figure out what they are. Anyway I unchecked the ones that I obviously don't care about at startup. Then you RESTART. Then I got this window that says that I can go to NORMAL STARTUP and undo what I just did. Or I can hide the window and not show it again leaving the changes in place. Is this what I want to do? I assume that I NOW want to be in SELECTIVE STARTUP. Is that correct. Also how did these icons end up in the non selective startup mode as I didn't put them there.
