msconfig

[Van]

Can items be removed from msconfig/startup? If so ... how?
Thanks

I assume you mean startup tab in msconfig?
Untick those you dont wish to start.
Be aware these may impact on certain App functionality that you may use

Hi Van,

It's not necessary, but you can remove entries for that tool in these keys
of the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig\startupreg

Remove the unwanted listings by deleting the corresponding strings. Please
note that working in the registry can be dangerous, so proceed with caution.
Unchecked (disabled entries) have no effect on the boot time, so there is no
real need to remove the listing unless it is a leftover from some program
that was removed.

Thanks Rick ... guess I'll leave it alone seeing it has no
effect on bootup.
