i got windows XP.

in the system configuration utility there are two
checked entrys without (blank) any startup or command
listed. there are location listed, one
says:HKLM\software\microsoft\windows\current ver...., and
the other says HKCU\software\microsoft\windows\current
ver....

i am trying to work on a problem with my pc and it sure
would help if one of you fine folks could help this
oldman out

how do i find out what they are and what should i do?

thanks much
Larry
 
Hi Larry,

Start/run regedit, navigate to this key by expanding the + signs, then click
on the "run" key (looks like a folder):

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

Look in the right pane for empty strings and delete them. This should remove
the blank entries. Probably leftover some a software installation that was
incomplete.

Click to expand...

Also the HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
for the other one. Those BTW are abbreviations of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\
and HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ respectively
