Thank you. I will look at this. Although if it is something that has to be installed on my PC I am reluctant.

>>I am having a frustrating experience trying to disable a couple of services that auto start by Windows. These are some VPN services.

>>Here is how I disable them:
>>
>>1. I run MSCONFIG, go to Services tab and uncheck these 2 VPN services
>>2. Click on Apply, OK, Reboot.

>>When the PC reboots I get the message:

>>"You have used the System Configuration Utility to make changes to the Windows starts.
>>The System Configuration Utility is currently in Diagnostic or Selective Start up mode.
>>Choose the Normal Startup mode on the General tab to start Windows normally and undo
>>the changes you made using the System Configuration Utility."
>>
>>Then when I click on Ok, I get the MSCONFIG again with the services I unchecked being checked again.
>>
>>How do I apply the changes in MSCONFIG (unchecking certain services) and make sure the changes are saved and not reverted on the reboot?
>>
>>TIA.
