what will happen?
they won't be loading anymore
If seriously, all the features of the PlexManager will be ignored (spindown speed, looking at audio CD as *.wav files, etc), so if you don't use any of those, there is absolutely nothing wrong with removing those two program from "msconfig"

Even tho those programs do not load, all those features will still be usable.
Been doin that myself for ages, Plex support confirmed this also...

You don't need them, in fact you don't even have to install any software to use the drive as a reader, only have to install writer software.

PlexMgr 2000 is handy 2 have around tho: controls drive speeds, spindown, &
enables AudioFS. The last feature is real nice for DAE, as all *.cda files
are seen as *.wav files in Windows Explorer & you can just Copy/Paste 2 rip
audio files...
