System Configuration utility blocked at Start Up
I note I am not alone with regard to blocked programs -- at Start Up as well
as thereafter. But the recommended solutions are not applicable to this one. There is no item in the Start Up list referrencing System Config in order to uncheck it. Even if there were, there are warnings that if not in use at Start Up it may affect other programs. Very perplexing, as well as frustrating! It is even more frustrating in the inability to get an answer from any part of MSN. If fortunate to get "contact" which helps the user, you get plenty of feedbacks which only helps MSN. Then the response(s) are full of references elsewhere plus a plethora of boilerplate phrases about how much they want to help, how valuable you are, etc. The question remains, how to make System Config accessible without requiring permission? A related question is when, for example you are trying to download/install even an MSN program, up comes Administrator denies permission. Just where/when/how was that done? I'm admin and no one else uses this laptop and I have no idea how or why or where such denial was put in place -- much less how to erase it. UAC (or whatever the correct abbreviation) turned OFF may or may NOT allow installation. And that's aside from warning of danger to leave it off. Lastly an unrelaterd additional frustration: all Support references appear in JAPANESE, and nowhere do I find how to restore English. Control Panel references have to do with language but not at MSN Support. FYI, problem arose when at Google I selected a reference which had mostly Japanese, but some English. Now wherever I go at MSN Support it's all Japanese. Help! -- |

If you make changes in msconfig, the next time the system is restarted, msconfig will try to run to tell you changes have been made, but since it needs admin privileges it get's blocked until you give permission for it to run. Clicking the icon in the notification area of the taskbar and telling it to run brings up the msconfig dialog screen that tells you it's in diagnostic mode. Check the box to not have it alert again, and it won't until the next time you make changes in msconfig and reboot. There is no way around it being blocked at startup. -- Rock [MS-MVP User/Shell] |

System Configuration utility blocked at Start Up
Thank you, Rock.
I am familiar with the vagaries of msconfig and have no trouble with it. Apparently it comes down to your last sentenance re NO WAY AROUND (sys config) BEING BLOCKED at start up. In my untutored mind this is difficult to understand: what reason to require permission for it to run? Just now in process of a download came that Admin Permission Needed box; and of course with no directions as to Administrator's having required permission or how/where to rescind the requirement. Note no comment re my msn support being all in Japanese -- and no clue as to extraditing myself!
