What is "nwiz.exe/installquiet/nodetect"? it seems like it may be a bad thing.

If you are seeing it in msconfig startup, it is the nVidia control panel

Yes that is where I see it, but please simplify your answer to me. I see it in msconfig startup just below a startup item labeled "NvCpl" and it is labeled as "nwiz" with the command as "nwiz.exe/installquiet/nodetect" Is this a normal safe startup item?

It's normal and safe . . however, I usually disable it just to cut down on the number of processes running at startup

OK, I'll disable it. What is it for?

It's the nVidia control panel that lets you make changes to the display . . useless unless you game a lot and have to change the settings all the time

Thank you, I'm done.
