Hallo, schöner Bericht. Ich kann nicht verstehen, wie so viele Menschen die Atomkraft ablehnen (was sich nicht zuletzt in den Wahlergebnissen zeigte) und dann aber nicht bereit sind, im eigenen Haus auf Ökostrom umzusteigen. Es gibt doch mittlerweile genug Anbieter und bezahlbare Tarife.

This blog has been helpful, but sometimes one has to “drill down” to get to the right place to get the needed answer. As for going to the suggested site to get the MSCONFIG “cleaner,” I am not a trusting person, so I tend to rely on tried and true tools. In this case, CCleaner is is a versatile and tried and true program. Google it on the Internet to pick your download site, but I use cnet.com. Once you have installed and loaded CCleaner, at the opening screen, click on Tools at the left and then on Startup on the next screen. Active Startup items will be in bolder type, while disabled items will be “grayed out.” You can then go to the item desired to be deleted, click to “highlight” it and click on the Delete button to the right of the screen. The item is then “gone.” BE CAREFUL! Incidently CCleaner can also be used to clean up your drive and clean your registry. It is reputed to be one of the safest registry cleaners out there.
