26011 2001-11-29 11:26:00 MSCONFIG gives visibility and management of files launched when Windows (I'm using WIN98)starts up. A check box deselected seems to revert back to its former selected status upon reboot. Is there any way to remove these files from the startup routines? Guest (0)
26012 2001-11-29 21:31:00 ...here is a registry hack:

Hkey_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\
Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

In the right pane, delete the Program you wish removed.

USUAL WARNING: Back up Registry before use - but *don't* muck around in the Registry unless you know what you're doing.

Cheers!!!

26013 2001-11-29 21:44:00 A safer route than hacking the registry:

Download a program called RegCleaner (search for it at www.downloads.com) and install and run that. It allows you to remove programs in startup. If they still keep appearing, tell us which one it is. I had that happen to me a couple of months ago, and it turned out to be a (harmless) virus that kept loading up... the only way to remove it was to boot into safe-mode and delete it using RegCleaner from there.
