Start up

[Peter]

I have uninstalled a programme but the entry remains in the startup tab of
msconfig.

By unchecking it I get a message evry tome i start the computer telling me
to chose normal mode and the programme goes back to the start up tab...

How do i get rid of the entry altogether?

thanks

When you removed the check within msconfig, also look at
the general tab, you will see a check that says
start in normal, selective, or diagnostic, you are
starting in selective, check the box that says normal.

Thanks. It solved it.

Is there a similar page for 98SE? as i have a similar problem in my other
computer: would like to get rid of obsolete entries in the startup msconfig
tab.

Thank you very much

Peter,

For Windows 98, open Registry Editor and goto:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run-
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run-
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices-

(note the "-" sign at the end. These keys will hold the values for disabled items in MSCONFIG)

Backup each key, in case and delete the sub-entries in the right-pane.

Each one specializes in one/more areas.
