Transferring msconfig startup settings to a new profile?
I have a broken profile and created a new user/profile and transferred the contents of the old user to the new user. Now I am trying to transfer all of the startup items from MS config (startup, services, boot, etc.) to the new user and I'm stumped: cut and paste doesn't work and even printing it out and entering it manually does not work – there are about 5-10 screens just for the startup items, for example. This is under Windows 7/ultimate. It was easy to do under Vista. Does anybody know how to do this under 7? Thank you. Ross

You should not have to do that, unless the application were installed as user assigned (per user not per computer). Most of the applications by default install per computer and as result every user get's them and when you create new profile they should show up. If they don't show up i would probably suggest just run repair on each of the applications and that should fix the problem. Services also are not per user they are per system so i don't need to do anything about that. (if you disable a service under one account it will be disabled for each user that logs in)
