Thrawn

As a follow-up to my previous post, my friend was unable decipher some of the autoruns in msconfig, so I came up with a simpler solution for him, as well as some more helpful info.

Here is his response to my previous help:

Zach, most of the programs are really abbreviated like “ehtray” and “stsystra” and I have no idea what those are. Help?

And here’s my solution:

I’d suggest downloading CCleaner:http://filehippo.com/download_ccleaner/
It has a “Tools” section with a “Startup” tab that gives a bit more info than msconfig does by itself. I’d also recommend just doing a general cleaning with CCleaner as well. It’s one of the standard tools we install on every machine that’s brought in where I work, so it’s ARRC Technology approved!

Also, if anything in there under Startup still doesn’t look familiar, Google it’s name. If you’re still unsure after googling it, it’s probably better left alone.
