Setup Usage Window Appearing!

[Chuck]

When I boot my system now, a Windows 2000 Setup screen
appears with a window in it that is titled "Usage"
Microsoft Setup, Setup [/?][/f][/;<INF srcFile>] The
screen then goes on to describe that the [/?] is what
generates this message. I would like to get rid of this
since it requires me to click OK everytime to boot up.

Start\Settings\Control Panel\Administrative Tools\Computer
Management(Local)\System Information\Software Environment\Startup
Programs|View|Advanced, then in the "Location" column, you'll find the path
to the "Startup" location either in the "Startup" directories or from the
registry's "Run" keys.

%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
%USERPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

You can delete the shortcuts that you no longer want to run.


HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

You can delete the string value for the program you no longer want to run.

I followed your instructions into the Start Up Programs

section but from there on it doesn't make sence to me.
Please help!

I followed your instructions to the Location Column but I

don't understand from there on about finding a path to the
Startup locations.

The "Location" column is the path to the startup location. You can post the
text of it if you need more details.
