And still no resizable msconfig window...

Unbelievable...

The feature I've been waiting 10 years for.

The Internet Explorer 8 Customization Wizard for corporate use is just as bad

Msconfig is desperately faggy anyway. Get Winpatrol [free] instead.

Wow like OMG.

rctneil · 24 Oct 2009 at 13:33

yeh, it is an annoying issue. Something so simple too, can be hard to work with msconfig because of this

Aod · 24 Oct 2009 at 13:39

i don't even find it an issue - just doubleclick on the resize-field-bar and it'll expand to the largest entry - do this for the process name, it's description and it's location and everything's fine. sure, a little bit of side-scrolling's a hassle but it's not like you need to use msconfig every day.

Seriously, are we actually trying to find any issue at all to moan about now?! Jeebus...

windows 7 is just THAT good

Why use MSConfig when you can do it all in regedit?

mrk · 24 Oct 2009 at 15:30

Or CCleaner...

Send Microsoft an email! Let them know you want it changed. If no-one emails them it's hard for them to know what things they should fix.

to be fair, it took nearly 20 years to update the fonts dialog. you just need a little patience....

More annoying is no way to remotely control msconfig the same as as "connect to another computer" works on services.msc

really really needs a remote configuraiton ability

You can just use remote registry access though!

Aye but it's not quite as quick to use as msconfig, have to click my way through it to disable all the startup items and such on remote machines

would be nice to be able to just connect to msconfig on a remote machine, untick what i don't want the machines to have in the startup section and hey presto, but alas it's not to be

Looks like a clone of Autoruns - free also.

Does anyone else find msconfig never seems to remember the "don't show this message again" thing?

Oh yea, so difficult to navigate to HKLM > Software > Microsoft > Windows > Run. :confused:

Alternatively, just use psexec and run msconfig remotely anyway.
