do they save battery-time? else i dont really need to deaktivate! :)

For a few fractions of a second, no doubt. But if those are of any real importance, you didn't have an option to deactivate those.

For somebody like me, rainmeter, objectdock etc are important, so I have those in startup, alongwith antivirus (and nothing else). Many a people dont use those programs ... it's not a very serious issue, other than a load on startup time.

Maybe I'm missing something here, but if I'm not mistaken (and it's possible that I could be), in order for the MSCONFIG command to work, on the General tab, you will have to put a check next to the box that says, "Selective startup". Then in the startup tab, simply uncheck whatever you don't want to start. It won't take effect until you restart your computer.

hi if you want a more comprehensive look at what starts up please use autoruns by Microsoft sysinternals

WEBSITE >>>>>>> Autoruns for Windows

Introduction

This utility, which has the most comprehensive knowledge of auto-starting locations of any startup monitor, shows you what programs are configured to run during system bootup or login, and shows you the entries in the order Windows processes them. These programs include ones in your startup folder, Run, RunOnce, and other Registry keys. You can configure Autoruns to show other locations, including Explorer shell extensions, toolbars, browser helper objects, Winlogon notifications, auto-start services, and much more. Autoruns goes way beyond the MSConfig utility bundled with Windows Me and XP.

Autoruns' Hide Signed Microsoft Entries option helps you to zoom in on third-party auto-starting images that have been added to your system and it has support for looking at the auto-starting images configured for other accounts configured on a system. Also included in the download package is a command-line equivalent that can output in CSV format, Autorunsc.

You'll probably be surprised at how many executables are launched automatically!

Dear Majid2,
A warm welcome to SevenForums:)! Yes, you have a very valid point there! I will give you an example: i have an Bluetooth keyboard and Mouse and i want them in the Startup items. I have Zone Alarm Browser Security too, but as i run a Sandboxie browser and have WOT, i have un-ticked it in the stert up menu! I don't need Dolby system in startup, hence i have just"disabled" it. You actually just disable them, not "remove".

best wishes,
sree
