after the installations of programs, there will be a bunch of those programs that will be run automatically during start up. i know how to use msconfig to unclick those that i don't need during start up.

is there a way to put them in a .reg file to delete the programs that i don't want to run during start up?

thanks

On Run type: regedit

Travel to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > MICROSOFT > WINDOWS > CURRENTVERSION

Youll have folders named Run.

problably these:

1 - Run

2 - RunOnce

3 - RunOnceEx

4 - RunServices

On all of them, delete entries that you dont need (not vital for system startup)

yes, what i want to know is how to put them in a .reg file so that it will delete those codes automatically? it will be used in unattended installation.

Thnx its very useful, i use this to remove Skype & Yahoo from startup

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"Skype"=-
"Yahoo! Pager"=-

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"Skype"=-
"Yahoo! Pager"=-

you can control Startup by following key:

Main (system):

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]

Current User (only):

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]

For all users (multiple accounts):

[HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
