If you go to the system32 folder below Windows than go to the files list and type m you'll jump to the m___ files. from there you may find msconfig.exe. If it's not there, the malware agents may have removed it. Too many spyware tools can conflict with each other causing this type of problem. -- Visit Family Radio Today http://www.familyradio.com/

msconfig missing in vista
Under All programs/Accessories is "Run". I put a shortcut to Run on my desktop, and use it to run msconfig or regedit. No need to search!
Of course if msconfig is missing from your computer it won't work. oldfogie "Lester Stiefel" wrote in message ... lew wrote: not there any more lew "GrahamH" . wrote in message ...
