System Configuration Utility Startup Tab

[ColTom2]

Hi:

How can I edit (delete) items from the Startup Tab within the System
Configuration Utility?

Thanks,

Tom

Tom,

go into START then RUN and type in MSCONFIG then hit
enter. Hope this helps.

I am speaking of deleting the entire entry that is listed in the Startup Tab
and not stopping it from running by removing the check etc.

Go to Start |Run | Regedit. Remove the entry in question from the
following keys:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

To Remove Entries in the Msconfig startup tab

These values are stored in the Registry. Go to Start/Run/Regedit to access
these keys and values to delete/remove them:

For items that were in the Start menu, Programs, Startup folder:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig\startupfolder.
You'll find a subkey for each disabled item.

For items loaded from the Registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig\startupreg.
Again, you'll find a subkey for each disabled item.
