[QUOTE="D3v1L80Y, post: 426702, member: 2960"] Good to hear that you are enjoying your Mac. Let me stop you and remind you of something first.... You aren't using Windows anymore. You can stop thinking like you are. ;):D What I mean by this is can be seen in your post here:This is completely and absolutely unnecessary. That is a Windows "tactic" to get things running smoothly. You don't need to do that with a Mac. In 20 years of using a Mac I have never had the need to do that. Also, I would assume that you are referring to the "msconfig" in Windows when you are talking about streamlining your startup. There really isn't anything like that with a Mac, so there isn't anything to worry about. You won't have to trim anything down. Yes, there is a "startup items" list in your System Preferences for Accounts, but that is about it. As long as you haven't added anything to it, you are fine. Your uninstalled apps are uninstalled. Relax. Enjoy. Don't try to find Windows-type solutions to Windows-type problems that don't exist on a Mac. :D [/QUOTE]
