MSCONGIG Question

[neil154]

I am running Vista 64 and installed a program which apparently had a virus or
I got it using IE8. I found an entry in the start up tab that was causing a
problem. I went into the registry and deleted the item from the startup tab
and I also disabled it in the startup tab. The startup tab still shows the
item even though it is disabled and deleted from the registry.

Why does it still show in MSCONFIG and how do I delete it from the start up
entry

Hi,

Look in the registry here:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig\startupreg

Download "script" to remove 'msconfig" Startup disabled items.

Thanks all for your help, I have removed the item. Unfortuneately, I still
have a problem. Every once in a while when I start IE8 I get the blue screen
of death. It can be several days or a week between the BSOD but I can not
figure out what addon or something else is causing it. It only happens when
I first start IE8. I tried uninstalling IE8 but it still happened with IE7.

If you have any suggestions I would appreciate them.

I am guessing that I can one by one enable/disabe the addons to figure out
which one is causing me the problem. Once I figure out which one is the
problem, how do I delete it? I only see a way of disabling the addon not
deleting it.
