I'll second that emotion...

It's bad enough that AVG anti-virus is running out and checking for updates everyday when I bootup, then Windows update runs whenever it wants to, and god knows what else is running in the background - hell the bootup is taking long enough as it is.

Once the system finishes booting and seems stable, I still need to launch Outlook, then my Real Estate MLS program, then UR - these three I leave up and runing all day - then any other programs that I might need off and on during the day.

Just sayin'...
