msconfig items

[guyf]

With all the problems that have been occurring recently I decided t
check what items were in my start-ups.
I used run/msconfig and have found two items that seem to be in code
They are not described by letters or numbers but by little squares lik
the ones you get when you try to open a PDF document with word b
mistake. The locations in the registry are shown but when I use regedi
to find them they don't appear.
Does anybody know what they are

Kelly's site, linked below, may help. Click on M, then scroll to...
"Msconfig - To Remove Entries:"

Thanks Dev but I tried that and it didn't find them. I have unchecked
them with no problems but I don't like them being there. Any ideas?
