Yes, I use Foxit on my laptop and sometimes wonder why I bother with Adobe Professional on these PCs. Brokencrow I didn't mean disabling start-up items sounded complicated, it was phishphreek's comment about copying MSConfig from an XP machine to Win2k.

We usually don't run any type of freeware/shareware or open source unless our software standards group approves the software first. It is much easier to get a free adobe reader on machines than try to get something like foxit approved in a large company.
We just had a major initiative to make sure that google maps is not installed on any corporate machines as google wants a pretty penny for the license on their software in our corporate network.
I can imagine google maps would in fact be installed on several machines as it's such a marvellous program! Foxit may not be good for corporations, but for the individual it's excellent.
Google Maps is total $1t€. I had the misfortune to use the crapware today.
Some scumbag broke into my gaff and broke a window in doing so (M$ were not responsible for the aforementioned window, BTW :p). So, I need to find someone who sells sheet glass cut to order.
This is a small town (pop.32,000) so there isn't a great deal of choice in specialist suppliers. However, I find that we have one, and their location.
Can't find where my wife has hidden my maps, so I think...... let's try the net...........
Hah! Google Maps............ that will do, thinks I.............. so it plots this course to the unknown destination............ turns out to be a 3 mile walk............ get there and buy my stuff, BUT my INS tells me that the Google Maps route was total bollix. I walk back a distance of about a mile............
For kiddies at school it might be OK, but for the real World it isn't. You have to pay for industrial strength applications. ;)
That was bad luck - but it's interesting to look at places, though I find they look blurred when you focus close in. Also, they aren't always up to date.
My pal there (the one you met with me in Blackpool) loves that program. He's been nagging me to download it since it first came out two years ago. I don't find it as fascinating as he does.
Oldie but goodie: http://www.blackviper.com/WIN2K/servicecfg.htm
There are all kinds of other places things are loaded...
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx
\documents and settings\*\Start Menu\Programs\Start Menu\Startup
where the * is current user, all users, default user, etc

And several others...
