msconfig

[Danny]

When using the system configuration utility, under the
startup tab, there are items listed that I do not want to
start automatically. When I enable "normal" under the
general tab, all the items in "startup" are checked.

How do you remove items from the startup tab?

 

[Rich]

Uncheck the items you want disabled, then click Apply.

You can disable items by unchecking them but cannot
remove them from the Startup. Then click Apply/OK and
reboot. Recommend disabling everything except your anti-
virus program, if Norton, it will start with NAV.

Danny,

See Tip 148 in MVP Kelly's site: Clear Disabled Items from Msconfig Startup
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm

NOTE: The disabled startup items are moved here:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig\startupreg]
