I only found one program that offers that choice in any menu. For example, I
could not find a choice for Microsoft Office programs. Also, when I go to
msconfig and uncheck startup programs, it moves me to "Selective Startup"
mode, even if I only uncheck one program, like my Kodak picture software. It
won't let me boot in "Normal" mode unless I restore everything to startup on
boot. So, I still need a solution. Seems like I once entered a program
other than msconfig in "Run" and it let me remove programs from startup, but
I no longer recall how I did it. Thanks for the try!
