oXide,

 

You might want to try Startup Control Panel (at http://www.mlin.net/StartupCPL.shtml). It's an excellent freeware utility that gives you control over all non-service startup processes, wherever their location. Easier than looking through all of the possible startup locations in the registry, listed below:

 

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServicesOnce

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServicesOnce

 

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows, the "run" and

Load" keys.

 

PLUS all of the startup folders. Sheesh!

 

Anyway, Mike Lin's nifty little utility lets you choose to enable / disable / temporarily delete / permanently delete any startup item from any of these locations.

 

Regards,

Jim
