Registry run at boot - where?

[zuke]

Hi,

I think I used to be able to find in the registry the following:
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS\RUN

Where I could disable any programs that run at boot. It seems to have
changed. Now I cannot find it. Perhaps I forgot where it is.

Can anyonw tell me where this settging is in the registry?

Thanks,
Zuke

Check these two keys.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

Good luck

There are more places to look for things that execute at boot than
you think.. Get the free program "Autoruns" which will list all
programs that run, where they're located, and allow you to disable
them.
