  This utility, which has a knowledge of auto-starting locations of any startup monitor, shows you what programs configured to run at system startup or login and that the entries in the order of processing windows. These programs include those in your startup folder, Run, RunOnce, and other registry keys. You can configureAutoruns to show other locations, including Explorer shell, toolbar extensions, helper objects to the browser, Winlogon notifications, auto and many start-up services even more.

• How can I add an existing program for the boot menu (so that it is initiated when I turn on the computer)

  Long story, but I accidentally deleted the program pad track (DellTPad) to start the ritual.  So now I can not turn the touchpad switch.   How can I get the program in the start menu so that I can control the touchpad again?  I found the DellTPad program on the computer but I don't know how to get it back in the boot process.  I don't have a decent backup to restore.

  Send a shortcut on the desktop. Then, without letting go of taken, drag it to the Start button, all programs, in the startup folder and drop it.

• How do access you the list of programs that start when you start your computer?

  How do access you the list of programs that start when you start your computer?

  First of all, note that you should be concerned all the programs
  starts automatically, not only those who enter in the system tray.
  Not all the programs auto-start manifesting by an icon in the
  Status bar.

  On each program, you don't want to automatically start, check its
  Options to see if he has the choice of not start (make sure you)
  Indeed choose not to run, not just a "don't show icon.
  Optional). Many can easily and better be arrested like that. If that is not
  work, run MSCONFIG from the start. Run the line, and then click the Startup tab.
  Uncheck the programs that you do not want to automatically start.

  However, if I were you, I wouldn't do it just for the application of
  the minimum number of running programs. Despite what many people say
  You should be concerned, not with the way that a lot of these programs
  you run, but who. Some of them can degrade performance severely, but
  others have no effect on performance.

  Don't stop all programs to run willy-nilly. What you need to do
  is to determine what each program is, what its value is up to you which
  the performance cost is its running all the time. You can try
  Internet search and ask questions about the details here.

  Once you have this information, you can make a smart informed
  decision on what you want to keep and what you want to get rid of.

• Cannot access Internet and all programs on the start menu. How to get rid of a virus on windows xp

  I was recently given a hand computer (compaq I tthink) so I'm not clear about all the fancy stuff to the extent of the ect CPU... but I know it has windows xp pro. in any case, a friend used my computer and for some reason any felt the need to download a program called 7-zip. Now, my computer is screwed... In the start menu > all programs, everything has disappeared! And I can access the system restore in normal boot and safe mode, but the window remains empty, we never really gave me the opportunity to use it. Oh and I can't get online in normal or safe boot mod either, what can I do?

  Original title: how to get rid of a virus on windows xp proremove a virus from windows xp pro

  Hello

  1. Why do you think that the computer is infected with the virus? See you pop - unwanted ups or odd behavior of all programs?

  2 have you made any changes to the computer before the show?

  3. did you run any online scanners to remove infections?

  4. What is the antivirus installed on the computer program?

  Method 1: Run a scan antivirus on your computer.

  www.Microsoft.com/Security/Scanner

  Note: If infections are detected during the scan, there is a risk of data loss because infected files will be deleted.

  Method 2: Safe mode with networking

   

  Step 1: Check if you can browse the Internet with success in Mode safe mode with networking.

  Networking Mode safe mode starts Windows in mode safe mode and includes the network drivers and services needed to access the Internet or other computers on your network.

  A description of the options to start in Windows XP Mode

   

  Step 2: Put the computer in a State of boot is a way to know which application is causing this problem.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows 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.

  Put your boot system helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. If so, you need to maybe contact the manufacturer of the program for updates or uninstall and reinstall the program.

  Step 1: Follow the steps in the link below to do the same thing:

  How to configure Windows XP to start in a "clean boot" State

  Note: After troubleshooting, be sure to set the computer to start as usual as shown here:

  Step 2: To configure Windows to use a Normal startup state

  After you have used the boot is a way to solve your problem, you can follow these steps to configure Windows XP to start normally.

  1. Click Start and then click Run.
  2. Type msconfig and click OK. The System Configuration Utility dialog box appears.
  3. Click the general tab, click Normal Startup - load all services and device drivers and then click OK.
  4. When you are prompted, click on restart to restart the computer.

  Method 3:

  Create a new user account and verify if you are able to access the program in the start menu.

  Try to connect with a different user has administrator rights account and then create a new user account.

• After you restore rundll32.exe, I restarted my computer all the icons on my desktop and all programs in the start menu disappeared

  Every thing seems to have returned to normal, but when I restarted my computer all the icons on my desktop and all programs in the start menu disappeared, and yet, all programs are always in: Control Panel > add/REMOVE programs.   I can still connect to the internet by going to-Start > my computer > view > go to the desktop. How to get back all the icons on my desktop. I tried a click right, but in vain. I also ran a scan complete antivirus. any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you Joel S. Before I could put your advice into practice a friend recommended a friend who advised me to do a system restore, which he said he would be happy to do it for me. So look like an easy option, I agreed. It seems to have solved the problem (fingers crossed), but now it seems that I need to format the hard drive. If you have any tips on formatting hard drive I'm all ears. Thank you Owen

• How can I add a program to the start?

  I would like to add a program to the start in setting in motion.  The program is already loaded.    How can I do?

  There are several ways to do so. And here's one:

  In my computer or Windows explorer, open your startup folder-

  C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup.

  or if you want to do this for all users, C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup.

  Then, leaving open, open a second instance of the desktop or Windows explorer and navigate to the program you want to start automatically. Their right and drag the program to your startup folder. When you release the right mouse button, the choices that you are given, choose "Create shortcut here."

• How to add programs to the start of the file using Vista

  How to add programs to the start of the file using Vista

  Hi Harry,.

  Oddly enough, you can actually do it in msconfig except if it is already there and simply not checked as opposed to not being do not at all (although you would think that they would understand this option).

  The easiest way is to add the program (or a shortcut to the program) in the folder all Menu Programs Startup.   Here is the procedure: http://www.ehow.com/how_5098465_add-startup-programs.html.  Remember, to do this, you must either a shortcut existing (perhaps on the desktop or elsewhere in the menu all programs) or you need to find the source file (probably somewhere in C:\Program Files depending on what you want to add) and either copy it and add it to the startup folder or right-click on it and create a shortcut to copy into the startup folder.  Once you reboot, this program starts during the initial commissioning process and you will now be able to control using msconfig.exe, if you wish.

  Another option is to do this by using the registry editor.  If you decide to try this, first create a restore AND system restoration point backup of the registry before you begin.  Here is the procedure: http://www.ehow.com/how_7304438_add-program-msconfig-regedit.html.  I recommend to use this ONLY if the previous procedure does not work for some reason any as long as that the procedure is simpler and safer.

  If you want a simpler way to manage and control startup programs, you can try it free WinPatrol http://www.winpatrol.com/download.html that change monitors for startup programs if you set it to run in real-time so that you know when to try new programs are added to your Start menu and, for the purposes of this question includes an Add button which opens a link to a window of Windows Explorer where you can browse the program you want to add, click open to select and then add it directly to the commissioning.  If you prefer it does not work all the time, you can simply uncheck the box which includes this program and it will work only when you choose to run (but at the start, will work as an indication otherwise or configured).  It will appear not in the start menu in all programs (Finally, WinPatrol is, but not programs, it adds to the start), but it will appear in WinPatrol (which also lets you manage what you want or not start with checkboxes as in msconfig) and sure in msconfig - but only after a reboot is complete the process of adding.

  I hope this helps.  Personally, I use WinPatrol myself and let it run in real time.  Since I do a lot of installations, it helped me often prevent the addition of a startup item I haven't really need and reduces how many times I actually need to check what is happening out there.

  If this answers your question without the need to repost in another forum, please mark it as an answer.  If this isn't the case, then of course you must republish as suggested above.

  Good luck!
