I went to "MSCONFIG" and a program that needs to be there to operate properly, is not there. I don't see a way to add a program.

I went to services.msc. And the program is listed as STARTED and under startup item, it says AUTOMATIC.

So how do I get it into "MSCONFIG" on the startup menu ??

go to C:/ the search start menu, then wait for a folder Icon to pop up, while waiting make and/or copy a shortcut of the program and then when you see the start menu folder open it then programs (a folder in it) then start-up, paste the short-cut

    Services and Programs are two seperate things

    What program is it?

    It's Norton 360. It needs to be listed in the start menu to properly scan my files for items that don't need to be scanned. Ironically, this would speed up my computer, because Norton would not be scanning everything as it starts.
