18610 2001-09-10 22:45:00 Does anyone know how to remove items from this list. I have a number of duplicate entries and old programs that have been removed from my computer. I know how to switch items on and off (with the tick box) but how do I edit the list.

Any help appreciated

18613 2001-09-11 21:25:00 To remove these keys permently, run Regedit from the run dialog on the start menu. Items to run on startup are stored in the following two keys.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Run


Items that you have already disabled using msconfig are moved to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\-Run

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\-Run


Back up these entries first by exporting the selected key (File / Export). Delete any unwanted keys.
