MSCONFIG question

[JamesS]

I noticed when I ran MSCONFIG on XP pro that alot of the
programs show to be located in
HKML\Software\Microsoft\Windows....
I am not familiar with what HKML means. Can anyone fill
me in on what this file string means?

Thanks, JRS

Hi James,

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE: This key contains computer-specific information about
the type of hardware installed and software settings. This information is
used for all users who log on to the computer. This key has several subkeys.

I am not familiar with what HKML means.

It is a registry key (get at it to edit direct with regedit.exe) - the
key is
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
and HKCU is
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

Look for lines in the right pane.

Before editing anything in regedit I suggest you highlight the parent
'key' (\Run in this case) and use File - Export so you could put things
back without needing a system restore
