boot.reg Error message

[Thomas]

One of our users got the following error message upon
booting up and logging into their system: "Cannot import
boot.reg. Not all data was written successfully to the
registry. Some keys are open by the system or othr
processes." I've checked MS support but couldn't find any
reference to this error. Anyone have ideas on what this
is and how to clear it up? Any info much appreciated.

You can delete the shortcuts that you no longer want to run.

You can delete the string value for the program you no longer want to run.

You might also give this a try. Get a firewall solution, and update your AV
definitions.
