Mikka Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 Hi,I'm looking for means to permanently remove the (empty) StartUp menu item as I don't make use of it (and won't in future).In other words, I'd like to remove the marked entry:A registry tweak would be best: I need this for my BartPE image (XPSP2), i.e. not for the ordinary harddisk installation.Any ideas?P.S.: Previous attempts of mine to execute a del instruction didn't work.

Daemonforce Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 It could be something in the registry that controls Explorer. I remember having to add an entire section called "User Shell Folders" just to get the Programs part of the start menu to open. There may be an entry in there that points to the startup group. =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikka Posted March 12, 2006 Author Share Posted March 12, 2006 I remember having to add an entire section called "User Shell Folders" just to get the Programs part of the start menu to open. There may be an entry in there that points to the startup group.The solution is astoundingly simple: By deleting Startup in both Shell Folders and User Shell Folders (under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer) the StartUp menu item is gone.Perfect—thank you very much.
