i use XP OS. i want to view all programs that instal themselves automatically
on system start up, so that i can remove those not needed. understand this
can be done under'run' in start menu by using 'misconfig' command. but i am
unable to access this command under 'run'. request help.

I can't figure out why you posted this in the Word.DocManagement newsgroup,
but I guess "clueless" is a big category...

Your problem is that you're not spelling the command properly. Leave out the
"i" after the "m". It should be

msconfig

This has nothing to do with Word. Ask in a Windows XP newsgroup.
