MikeCh 0 Posted May 17, 2001 Using 9x for so long, I'm not sure how to remove this program. When I start my computer, some app that runs but isn't in the StartUp folder immediately crashes and is closed.. Figures. I'm used to running MSCONFIG to turn these things off... Not so in W2K. Help the newbie... How do I remove this? Share this post Link to post
Bursar 0 Posted May 17, 2001 Have a look in the Registry under... HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run Everything that loads at startup is listed there. Just delete the entry that relates to the offending application. Share this post Link to post
ThC 129 0 Posted May 17, 2001 yeah check either HKLM or HKCU (Hkey current user) and under the software/MS/windows/run and runonce are the keys you are looking for. Share this post Link to post
Pikey 0 Posted May 24, 2001 If you don't want to get your hands dirty, check out Reg Cleaner. Very handy at backing up and removing startup items. Check out www.utilitygeek.com. I believe that they have it there. If not, search around. Cheers Share this post Link to post
