Philippe - I know you're French and your English isn't great (either is my French), but take another shot at that question and I'll try and answer it...I think I know what you want, but I'm not quite sure....

Well, go on, i'm trying to explain myself better ... 
In Stardock Central options, tools/General/General, there's two choices linking to MCP...
What i want to know is what is exactly MCP, what is the influence of checking/unchecking "enable MCP notification area support" and what is that notification area support, and also what is the influence of checking/unchecking "enable MCP SmartStartup"
hope it's more OK for u now

Reply #4 Monday, June 28, 2004 8:22 PM yeah, Philippe...that's fine.
MCP Support Area and Smart Startup are simply enhancements to starting various Stardock proggies (DX2, ObjectBar,etc) on a re-boot or a start-up. The best way to look at it is to envision it as a 'coordinator' of all these proggies. It uses very little resources and the plan is to incorporate more Stardock programs into it so that everything will run seamlessly as if they were one program.
I, too, hope that helps you...

Yep it is, thanks
Is there any influence as well when launching WB, WFX, TablaunchPad, ObjectDock, IconPackager, Bootskin, Logons at Startup ? (i mean without DesktopX ?)

For the ones you named (at least at this time)no, but some of the other Stardock Programs (including DX2) do call on the MCP files, so it is something you want running.
The short of it is it detracts very little from your system performance and adds quite a few pluses....and as time goes by it will be more and more beneficial.
