1412584 2015-12-10 02:42:00 This is just a minor irritant. I'm on Windows 7 64 bit..
Frequently after updating some programmes e.g. Ccleaner I look at MS Config Startup tab and find e.g. Ccleaner and some others with a tick in the box.
I remove he ticks from those I don't want to run at startup and click Apply.

I notice that there are several unticked boxes below - often with duplicate names where I have previously unticked them.

I cannot see a method of removing those unticked boxes from displaying.
Is this possible

thanks.

1412585 2015-12-10 03:20:00 Theres several ways, some more dangerous than others. I say dangerous because remove the wrong items in the registry and you can sometimes screw up all sorts of things.

FIRST-- MAKE A RESTORE POINT.

The unsafer way --

Then open regedit, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig\startupreg. Expand out the list, Select and delete the keyto the corresponding entry that's unticked in MSCONFIG.

"slightly" safer way ---- Open Ccleaner, on left-- tools/ Startup -- the ones that are unticked in MSCONFIG will be grayed out, carefully look at the entry / Description ,:stare: select it, then click Delete on the right. Remove the ones you dont want, once removed, reboot and the entry will be gone from msconfig.

if something is not right -- then run system restore back to put them back.

If ccleaner is installed delete / disable them in tools/startup

1412587 2015-12-10 03:43:00 ^^^^ that

Some programs will just keep re-adding itself to startup , unless you untick that in the programs options .
