HI Katie,

Did you read the Links provided by Flatiron in your other thread?
All the startup entries in that image you posted are either harmless or required - I would leave them alone.

Are you having problems with your computer?

Glad to hear you are not having problems

I can see you have at least one startup item that appears to be duplicated, but I cannot tell from that image if the entries are identical. Also, there will be other programs starting up that do not show in msconfig so we need to see all those entries.

Download WhatInStartup and unzip the file (double click on the file named whatinstartup.zip and Windows should automatically lead you through unzipping the file). Then run the file named WhatInStartup.exe.

Go to Edit, Select All. Then go to File, Save Selected Items and save to your Desktop with the name start.txt.

Attach this file to your next post.

We can then see everything that is starting up, check if there are duplicates and advise you on things that can be stopped safely.
