(Oh, and sorry, I had the history of SysInternals backwards. It was developed independently until MS acquired it.)

Now that this thread has turned toward best ways to disable startup apps, Autoruns is the way to go (free, individually download but part of the incredibly useful SysInternals suite, which is also free and used to be a Microsoft offering until it was spun off – that’s probably why it is so useful).

Autoruns provides some functionality for disabling startup apps and services, similar to msconfig, but the great thing is that it allows you to save your configuration, so you can monkey around with less worry about never being able to get back to a working configuration (should you bork something). Still, as with all these options, be careful..

I just read your interesting tip about the Business Connectivity Services. I like to correct something if I may. You should not use MSconfig to turn of applications or services. It is mainly used for troubleshooting. If you would like to disable Business Connectivity Services you can run the installation wizard of office 2010 and choose for Add and remove features. Look under “Office Share Features” and there you will find “Business Connectivity Services”. From there you can choose “not available” and hit continue.

You need to restart the computer and if it still starts during startup, then you need to disable it by unchecking it from msconfig, as mentioned above.

FYI Bought a new Vaio Office 2010 preinstalled. Uninstalling Office did NOT remove BCSSync.exe or at least it is still a set to run at startup.
