I'm trying to cleanup my start-up items through MSCONFIG, and was wondering if anyone knows what 'QD Fast & Safe' and 'New.net Startup' items are? Thanks, Bruce

Bruce, delete in +/-programs: New.net, It's a sneaky piece of dirtware - you should get rid of it! http://www.cexx.org/newnet.htm http://www.cexx.org/morennbs.htm
Then goto this link: http://www.pacs-portal.co.uk/startup_index.htm
Then take a peek at this: http://www.computing.net/windowsme/wwwboard/forum/14062.html
Unsure about the other, manufacturers shove crap on though as well.
