158159 2003-07-08 06:09:00 MSconfig/startup shows 5 duplicate programs. One lot has location as CommonStartup and the other Startup.

They are Zonealarm, Office Startup, SYSDOC32, Microsoft Fastfind, and Outlook.

One causing a nuisance is Outlook. It loads twice and invariably I seem to close the one that is trying to access the mailbox.

Can I delete one set or the other?

Acting thriough Msconfig gives me an interrogation box next boot and it seems to cancel what I tried to do.

Agree with Tommy re Findfast, etc, resource hogs.
