    There are two processes called "ZCfgSvc.exe" and "NicConfigSvc.exe" that I know are for my wireless and internal network card, but I cannot figure out how they are starting up.

    I have looked in my startup folder, in the registry run folders and in msconfig, but I do not see them?? Where do these start up from?

    My computer runs just fine if I kill them, so I want to stop them from starting up!

    Well, thanks for the reply, but as I said in my post, they do not appear in the msconfig utility :(

    Those are part of your wireless configurations, dont disable them unless you 1) dont have a wireless card in anymore, or 2) dont use the wireless card.

    Use Microsoft antispyware, under advanced tools/system explorers, Block it from starting up in windows.
