Hi Jimmy,

and scroll down to line 148, right column.

Good luck

Thanks for the repl
There is a file/program at 148 on the right side. What is this? I don't like opening and installing items that I don't know their purpose. Why didn't the items in msconfig get removed with the programs that I removed

Hi Jimmy,

It's a vbs script, like it says in the site. It will change the
registry to eliminate the unwanted entries. You can open it with
notepad and see what it has.

As for why the entries did not get removed, it is an XP bug.

Good luck
