I did start an article to help with startup items and it isnt quite ready yet for mainstream viewing but it may help with your startup programs..[Only Registered and Activated Users Can See Links. Click Here To Register...]

Hey mobo i saw a couple of programs that i dont even have installed. I checked my program files and i dont see these programs sw doctor, and wallpapae**e. Is there something i need to get rid of these from here. Also can i uncheck these since there not even in my program files folder?


thanks again mobo.



O and the programs i saw in there are the ones i close in the start up except the anti virus ones.

Obsolete entries are left sometimes and its just a matter of finding the in the registry..

They should be located:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre nt Version\Run
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre nt Version\Run Once
and/or
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr ent Version\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr ent Version\Run once

They are ok to uncheck.

Lets say that norton was an entry in the msconfig tool list. If it as in one of the registry keys that you followed up above then right click Norton and select delete from the registry.


Then close regedit, reboot and see if its still there in msconfig/startup tab
