MSCONFIG question
I am helping my buddy keep his new Dell running at top, so I had him email me a list of his startup programs in MSCONFIG, I don't recognize most of these. Anyone know what each of them is?
DSentry
PCMservice
qttask
realsched
mmtask
dragdiag
nwiz
NvMcTray
avgcc32
mnyexpr
Mircosoft Office
NvCpl
BCMSMMSG
I know MS Office and NvCpl, but not the others. Thanks

realsched - realplayer
avgcc32 - antivirus i believe
mnyexpr - M$ money ?
The MMTASK is a M$ thing as well, cant recall right now what it really does.

Thanx, you know how Dell loads up all that fun stuff into their computers. Even a Dell should run fast.....I can't believe I just said that.

"Dell" and "run fast" in the same sentence. LOL
Run fast after tweaking might be more like it. Most consumers that i do work for seem to like all that **** running in the background though, go figure.

qttask + Quicktime Player -- Not needed at start up.
realsched = Real Player -- Not needed at start up.
mmtask = Windows Multimedia Background Task Support Module that handles multimedia services. The software provides simulated multitasking for multimedia applications; for example, you could be playing more than one AVI movie at the same time. This task does not exist in Windows NT 4, 2000, or XP operating systems, which are true multitasking operating systems.
