Help? with Registry Editor : Cannot import sys.reg: Error opening the file.

[John Mikumi]

Hi,
Anyone know a simple way of fixing the following error
that I'm getting when I boot up my Win 2000 PC:

Registry Editor: Cannot import sys.reg: Error opening the
file. There may be a disk or file system error.

There doesn't seem to be any affect on performance, just
that it's annoying.

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
