How can I remove a reference to a file in the registry?

When I boot I get a box telling me to remove a reference to the START. EXE from the registry.

Hi BARRYWHEATON,

1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

2. do you have security software installed on the computer?

3. What is the full error message that you receive at startup?

It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check.

To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista or Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

Reset the computer to start as usual

When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

(a) click Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

(b) If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

(c) under the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

(d) when you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

  • How can I remove a shared link Public file?

    How can I remove a shared link Public file?

    Apparently, Ive clicked on the share icon and clicked the link public.

    This means that the file (including sensitive information) was transferred to the internet? Where is he? What does the Public link? Can I get it back and I can remove them from the internet?

    Or does this mean that Acrobat Reader Document Cloud, it was shared on my device?

    BTW, I use a mobile Mobile Android, not on PD/computer / tablet.

    Please do advice which continues.

    When you share a public link, the document is downloaded into the cloud of document so that users who receive the link can download the document.

    However, it does not appear that you have completed the workflow (in fact sent a link to anyone) so it is unlikely that someone has seen the document. For instructions on sharing, see Adobe Acrobat Reader for Android help: print, share, e-mail.

    If you has not sent the link to someone specifically through gmail or some other app (step 5 in the instructions), then no one, but you can view the document.

    To remove the file from your personal cloud storage space, connect to https://cloud.acrobat.com/, go to file and delete the file.

  • How can I remove folder rip of monitored files of Windows Media Player 11?

    RIP my CD to wav files on an external drive that I can use to make compilations of disc or mp3, but if I put this drive to be Windows Media Player rip folder, it includes it in the library of almost anything. As much as I have a separate player for mp3 (Yes, I don't keep my music in My Documents, Microsoft; I really don't like my music down from the ship), it includes the files wav and mp3 s, causing duplicates in my library. I only want to listen to mp3 because I use a computer as a network hub to my mp3.

    How can I delete the folder rip as a watched folder, and why Microsoft does not insist on what actually monitored? I don't see the point. I now do a temp folder just for tears and move the wav files on before turning back to my library. Pain.

    Hi dhinged,

    Ripped files are automatically added to the Windows Media Player library. On the computer, the files are in the folder specified on the tab extract music from the Options dialog box. You can change the folder at any time, but it can not be removed from monitored by Windows Media Player.
    Ref: where can I find the files that I ripped?

    I suggest you to create folders separated external hard disk (wav) files ripped to mp3 so that you can monitor folders separately.
    Ref: To change the files are controlled by the player: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Add-items-to-the-Windows-Media-Player-library

    This appears on the re-start and as it is a set of file, try to put in place.  Appears when you try to download a driver for HP printer.  HP has no idea how to get rid of it.

    Hello

    TrayApp is a software that is installed with the software that is needed for printers HP used with a computer system. This error occurs because the unfinished program installation or because one of its files has been removed from the registry.

    a. try to restart Windows or open the software HP (the one that displays the error message).

    b. Insert the installation disc into the computer when the error message appears. The disc will be included when the HP computer was purchased.

    Who would say that you have enabled change bars (or maybe they were at some point and have now been disabled). To get rid of the change bars, you must use the Format > Document > change Bars... option and enable the option "Clear All bars change."

    You might want to first make a copy of the file in case anyone ever wants to see where changes have occurred.
