Dave ... two of my ol buds seeking help on the same day .... ggggg didn't appear that I helped JT any but with your deal ... highlight and delete is all you need to do ... a good thing to do, in the event that you don't know what it is or what it does but your machine NEEDS it ..... rename the thing ... move it ... see what,if anything bad, happens at re-boot you can move it back and re name it correctly ... the reason that I re-name is to keep it from being found via another route or whatever .... most likely, from my quick glance at your list, ScanRegistry and win32sl are the only ones you'll need ... of course, as you know from past years .... I have been occasionally wrong ..... gggggg

ScanRegistry scanreg.exe/autorun Leave this one alone. It backs up your registry and automatically restores a good copy if something wrong is detected on startup. Taskmon A lot of people suggest leaving this one alone as well. It monitors program use. Disknag This is a little program that reminds you to make your backup diskettes. It is not necessary in Startup. tcasutiexe These are associated with the 3COM diagnostic module (3COM NIC Doctor). I have no idea what it does but you can always uncheck it and if something goes wrong put the checkmark back in. adaptecdirect Allows you to drag and drop files onto your cdr. scheduling agent Keep this if Task Scheduler is being used. If not, it can be eliminated. win32sl I don't know. machine debug manager used to provide application debugging in Office programs. Unless you use Script Editor you won't need this one. tc
