error message sys.reg.

[Dave]

At boot up I receive the following message, click OK and
proceed as usual with no noticible problems. How do I
clear this error? I am a novice.
MESSAGE:
"Cannot import sys.reg: error opening the file. There may
be a disk or file system error"
Thanks

Spyware. Natively you can; Start\Settings\Control Panel\Administrative
Tools\Computer Management(Local)\System Information\Software
Environment\Startup Programs|View|Advanced, then in the "Location" column,
you'll find the path to the "Startup" location either in the "Startup"
directories or from the registry's "Run" keys.

%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
%USERPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

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


HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

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

or copy msconfig from Windows XP

Dave has answered. But it is interesting to find at least 3 other
threads here with "sys.reg" in the Subject in the last 30 days. I
guess you did not look for them. Or at Google either (thousands)...
