now iam using selective startup from system configuration utility to avoid an application error which i see in normal startup.



will any problem come if i use selective startup always ?

It shouldn't, assuming you didn't disable any critical Microsoft Services. But you would know if you did and the really necessary services don't allow you to disable them.

As long as it is working fine on one selective startup it will work fine on every other one too. I use selective startup.

The only way it wouldn't work would be if a virus infected.

I agree with Amtech as long as you are not disabling critical windows processes you should be fine.

ya,iam not disabling any critical Microsoft Services...

just one,that is iepr.exe

Is iepr.exe is a windows process ?

so still no one knows that its a good or bad process ?

I did a search on google and it appears to be part of Internet Explorer Password Recovery.

You may or may not have downloaded this intentionally. With the service and startup entries disabled you should not suffer any ill effects from it, if you ever did.

I advise running selective startups with only the services and startup programmes you need as it makes your PC faster which is always good.

Unless it comes back or you have any sort of PC trouble I wouldn't worry about it. It could be a left over from an uninstalled program.
