jrzycrim Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 msconfig stores the disabled startup items in these keys:[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig\startupreg][HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig\startupfolder]Delete any sub-keys that correspond to programs that you do not want listed in msconfig.

magicfly Posted June 23, 2004 Author Share Posted June 23, 2004 GREAT! Thanks a lot! Just wondering if there's a tool on the net which make this stuff...do you know anything about that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrzycrim Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 I'm not sure about that. What are you looking for exactly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magicfly Posted June 23, 2004 Author Share Posted June 23, 2004 i'm looking for a tool not too hard to use who can work onto the registry and does these things:for example who can edit and remove these unused apps from msconfig.exe and another feature i'd like to find is to edit the ADD/REMOVE voices (for example sometimes some apps doesn't uninstall completely and leave their name onto the menu) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrzycrim Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 Ah okay. As far as add/remove program list, check this out:http://www.winguides.com/registry/display.php/110/winguides.com is a great resource for reg tweaks.Here's something you might be interested in.http://www.winguides.com/tweak/It's not free, however. If I run into any freeware programs, I'll post them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrzycrim Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 No problem.You know what? I had a free program on my computer that I forgot about. It has lots of features including editing the startup program list and add/remove programs.http://www.x-setup.net/You should be careful with some settings. It does have a backup feature incase a change doesn't work or causes problems.Edit: There are literally thousands of settings so some things may be hard to find at first.If you decide to use this program, Startup programs are under Startup/Shutdown > Startup > Win NT/2k/XP > Auto Run part 1/Part 2The uninstall program list is under System > Software Installation > UninstallYou can even set favorites to immediately go to any particular setting.
