Lost my "sys.reg" file

[Sid Dutta]

My "sys.reg" file has somehow gone corrupt/missing and
therefore, I am getting the following error message on
startup:

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

Could someone please tell me how to restore the sys.reg
file and rectify the error.

I have unsuccessfully tried the Windows Find command to
locate the file.

Thank you.

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
