It is inexpensive, and it is very solid with a good diagnostic information dashboard.On MSCONFIG and what I charge, Almost all my work is done at $100/hour. Even for Remote Access work. Also, though MSCONFIG is fine for toggling various processes on/off, I prefer CCLeaner or Spybot S&D. They allow such toggling without a restart being required and that annoying dialog box on restart that informs and confuses the user regarding settings have been changed.And PLEASE.... I subscribe to GEEKS and Lockergnome. And I am disappointed that they are virtually the same. Why not drop one of them or combine them in to ONE Subscriiption. AND YOUR "UNSUBSCRIBE" FEATURE DOES NOT SEEM TO WORK....or you have one heck of a turnaround time.And, as long as you are asking what we charge/hour. What is YOUR rate?Inquiring minds want to KNOW!Anchorage Alaska Chris,

And PLEASE…. I subscribe to GEEKS and Lockergnome. And I am disappointed that they are virtually the same. Why not drop one of them or combine them in to ONE Subscriiption. AND YOUR “UNSUBSCRIBE” FEATURE DOES NOT SEEM TO WORK….or you have one heck of a turnaround time.

And, as long as you are asking what we charge/hour. What is YOUR rate?

Myself, I do it after installing ANYTHING new. Don't EVER trust that just because you choose for a program not to start up with Windows at boot-when you're configuring your new program. I've found in over 20yrs on computers,THAT means nothing until you actually check msconfig! I go to msconfig ANY time I’m helping someone with boot issues.
