Extensions Manager

The Extensions Manager control panel lets you turn on or off startup
programs (also known as system extensions and control panels). You can also
use the Extensions Manager to switch between sets of extensions.

To use the Extensions Manager during startup, hold down the Space bar as
you start up the computer. The control panel opens during startup to allow
you to turn extensions on or off. When you close the Extensions Manager,
your computer resumes starting up and loads the extensions you selected.

you to turn them on or off as a group.

incompatible items, open this menu
