[WriteLog] Unwanted Startup Applications

[Mark Shaum]

Jerry,

Here's a good site that will help you turn off a lot of programs that
install as services that you may not need:  http://www.blackviper.com

Also, here's a good utility to toggle things off and on at startup:
http://www.mlin.net/
I use Startup Control Panel v2.8 to disable things I don't want running but
reserve the ability to toggle them back on if needed at boot time.
