    jv16PowerTools & Autoruns replacing msconfig for tweaking


    jv16PowerTools & Autoruns replacing msconfig for tweaking
    Taking advice of others, getting completely away from using msconfig as a startup/services tweaker,
    I need the clicks within jv16PowerTools [pay for version] and/or Autoruns to:
    -- disable a startup, not delete it, simply disable from cranking up
    -- disable a service, ditto as above
    I need to "park" AVG modules awhile. Not uninstall it, not delete modules, simply keep them from cranking up. I was in a super hurry to get on time to work, I don't believe I did a good job with either jv16PT or Autoruns.

    Ok, I'm in autorun's services -- if I want to disable [but not delete] aardvark.exe, I simply uncheck the checkbox to its left, correct? If correct, another question, I can't seem to locate the Startup tab in autoruns.

    Autoruns doesn't have a startup tab. You need to refer to the follwing locations that are shown in Autoruns (run as admin).

    All i did was create a shortcut to

    controlpanel>admintools>services>and then selected prog.
    and performed what i wanted start/stop - auto/delayed/dissable/manual.

    with regard to the AV would you also need to turn off self protection mode.

    I don't understand.

    What is wrong with using msconfig?
    Why are you trying to replace it?
