Couple points on the Windows process, Tod. If you use the CTRl-ALT-DEL method, you're going to have to selct the PROCESSES tab in Task Manager anfd hope you can spot the TSRs by their process names. Most TSRs in Windows run as services, which won't show up in The APPLICATIONS tab. (Trojans and malware are perfect examplse of this.)

My preferred way create a clean presentation state is to hold down the SHIFT key while booting the Operating System (Win or Mac) – this causes the OS to skip processing any of the entries in the Startup section of the registry or Mac extensions.

Paul.

[...] The First Slide in Your PowerPoint/Keynote Presentation (Tod Maffin) – "About four years ago while giving a keynote presentation about leading 'the Facebook generation' in the workplace, disaster struck. I was about mid-way through the speech, talking about new models for employee benefit plans, when the following popped up on the screen — in front of 2,200 people…" [Yes, it's pretty much as embarrassing as you're imagining. Tod offers a really clever solution. Thank for the heads up tweet @OliviaMitchell.] « Bookmarked: You Must Have a Good Sound System (Great Public Speaking) blog comments powered by Disqus var disqus_url = 'http://www.breakingmurphyslaw.com/2009/11/17/bookmarked-the-first-slide-in-your-powerpointkeynote-presentation-tod-maffin/ '; var disqus_container_id = 'disqus_thread'; var facebookXdReceiverPath = 'http://www.breakingmurphyslaw.com/wp-content/plugins/disqus-comment-system/xd_receiver.htm'; var DsqLocal = { 'trackbacks': [ ], 'trackback_url': 'http://www.breakingmurphyslaw.com/2009/11/17/bookmarked-the-first-slide-in-your-powerpointkeynote-presentation-tod-maffin/trackback/' }; [...]
