disable startup items

[crck3rz]

Before i started making unattend cd/dvd i use to use msconfig to disable certain programs that started up everytime i booted.

Is there a way to do this on an unattended cd/dvd in the form of a reg hack or something before windows loads up

many thanx

i have no idea how to do this the easy way i'm sure you can make a registry file to delete specific values from the RUN key... but I don't know how to do that.. I'd just delete the whole key and replace it!

if you did a fresh install with vmware or something, then export the RUN key of the registry to a .reg file... edit the registry file so you can delete the s*** you don't want to run...

then during RunOnce program install, have a registry file that deletes the whole RUN key and replaces it with your modified one

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]"DAEMON Tools-1033"="\"C:\\Program Files\\D-Tools\\daemon.exe\"  -lang 1033""AnyDVD"="C:\\Program Files\\SlySoft\\AnyDVD\\AnyDVD.exe"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\OptionalComponents]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\OptionalComponents\IMAIL]"Installed"="1"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\OptionalComponents\MAPI]"Installed"="1""NoChange"="1"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\OptionalComponents\MSFS]"Installed"="1"

I just messed with it then... this is my edited registry file (I deleted about 5 things from the startup list, but made sure it still loads daemon tools and anydvd)

Tested and works perfectly... just do a fresh install, export the RUN key, then edit the file to look a bit like mine (just change the startup items obviously, leave the other stuff in there)
