Sorry
Wrong NG

|
| | |
| | | | | I have a problem with Windows 2000 running "Adobe Gamma" at startup
all
| | the
| | | time.
| | |
| | | I could not find the program listed in the "startup" folder. Where
else
| | | could this startup call be coming from?
| |
| | Thanks.

| | -----------------------------------------
| | Peter,
| | Look in the Registry
| |
| | HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
| |
| | and
| |
| | HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
| |
| | Just expand down to the Run key in each and look at the entries, find
the
| | ones you want to remove and delete them, you can also export the key(s)
| | before deleting in case you delete a key you wanted to start up.
| |
| | **** Be careful editing the registry directly, you could potential cause
| | problems
| | if you delete the wrong keys.

| |
| | There are several approaches you can use
| | to makeT controlling the startup process easier in WIN2K...
| |
| |
http://www.thetechguide.com/downloads.html (XP Version which works in
| | Win2k just fine) or here:
| |
| |
http://www.3feetunder.com/files/win2K_msconfig_setup.exe (stated to be a
| | Win2k Version - probably the same as the XP) or here:
| |
| |
http://www.techadvice.com/win2000/m/msconfig_w2k.htm and download
| | msconfig.
| |
| | As good, but different, is to go here:
| |
http://www.mlin.net/StartupCPL.shtml and get Mike Lin's Startup Control
| | Panel applet. A somewhat more difficult to use but more extensive
| | program to do the same thing is StartupList from here:
| |
http://www.lurkhere.com/~nicefiles/index.html, or even better, Autoruns
| | from here:
| |
http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/source/misc.shtml#autoruns. Be very
| | careful about doing any Registry modifications directly unless you're
| | comfortable with this, and be sure that you BACKUP your Registry before
| | making any changes, so that you can recover if something goes wrong.
| | Changes made with StartUpCPL are less likely to cause problems, and are
| | usually a matter of just re-enabling the particular program. Another
| | program of this type that I can recommend is StartMan, free, here:
| |
http://www.forrestandassociates.co.uk/pcforrest/index.html. If you
| | have problems with suspected hijackers, you can look up and investigate
| | suspect programs in your StartUp lists here:
| |
http://www.pacs-portal.co.uk/startup_pages/startup_full.htm
| | (Recommended)
| |
http://www.3feetunder.com/krick/startup/list.html (Recommended)
| |
http://www.answersthatwork.com/Tasklist_pages/tasklist.htm (Recommended)
| |
| |
| | All work fine for controlling startups, however, I would recommend
| | getting both of the last two. They're both free, and each has some
| | advantages. For example, the XP msconfig also gives you some
| | visibility/control over services, while Mike's applet offers much better
| | startup control.
| |
| | Also, you should read and print out/save for future reference mskb
| | article Q179365 here:
| |
| |
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q179365 which
| | will tell you the order in which things get loaded.
| |

| | startup issues are:
