Msconfig Startup tab,

When you view the Startup tab in msconfig, I find a component that is empty in the item start and order fields.  The readings of the location: HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

Is this cause for concern?  And it would be safe to delete?

Thank you.

  • fix the msconfig Startup tab

    I have several items in the Msconfig Startup tab, but these requests have been removed and when I check the registry at the location indicated in msconfig there is no registration.  I even search the entire registry and the application is not there.

    So, how can I fix msconfig.

    I am very uncomfortable change registry etc.

    Thanks for the reply but the elements that are in the startup in msconfig, that are not verified (while they are turned off are not in the location you have suggested and are not located where msconfig says they should be.)

    When they are disabled, they are transferred out of the location indicated by msconfig and stored in the Tools\MSConfig of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE key so that they are later recalled and restored to their original start location.

    More specifically, they can be kept in one of the following subkeys:

    Services of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE Tools\MSConfig\startupfolder
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE startupreg

    Hello

    It is very possible that this is for the reason that you have corrupted files on your system. System File Checker will scan your system for the missing, corrupt or damaged files. In addition, it will try to correct them. If you have changed the important system files, System File Checker will be - make sure you make backups of them!

  • Where in addition to msconfig startup items can be reactivated to?

    My Samsung RV510 laptop running 64-bit MS7HP.

    He always has a certain unwanted started processes that are disabled in msconfig.  And some that are not yet listed in msconfig.

    Where can you find where they are controlled?

    To identify what loads when you start using Autoruns (freeware from Microsoft).
    http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902

    With Autoruns, you can deselect an item which disables startup, or you can click with the right button on an item, then remove it. If you clear the check box that you can check back for re - activate the element. It is an approach much safer than editing the registry and better than using msconfig.

    A useful feature of the program is that you can click with the right button on an item and select search online to get information about the selected item.

  • Display the applications at Startup tab?

    Does anyone know a workaround to force the creative Cloud application to start on the applications tab, when it starts first, instead of advertising for Adobe Stock tab?  It makes me crazy, I have no need of images of the reserve and will never be.  Whenever I open the creative cloud application, is to use the applications tab.  I'm tired of adding one additional click every time, it's frustrating.

    Hi Krzysztoftv,

    Thanks for sharing the update.

    From now on, there is no work around for this, but I will certainly share the concern with my team and try to reach a resolution.

  • How can I do a program run at windows startup

    Hello

    I'm not asking the msconfig Startup tab option, but asking to run a home program to load at startup of Windows XP instead of its default Shell Explorer.exe.

    (This registry key is placed in the variable Shell REG_SZ to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Shell)

    It should be like Bank ATMs (ATM) application. XP must load our home program when it starts and end user should not see the Windows desktop and directly see and interact with our program.

    Thank you.

    You have a shortcut on the desktop to open it now? Drag the shortcut to the Start button, then all programs and drop it in the startup folder.

  • How to stop to load at startup of indexing

    I use Win XP Pro, and I want to stop indexing load at startup in my system tray.  I somehow it started about 2-3 weeks ago and now I want to put an end to its use.

    Thanks for any help.

    If it's the windows index service you can turn it off via the admin tools Control Panel.
     
    If it's a third party indexing service, you may need to disable the program by clicking on the Start button > run > msconfig > Startup tab

    Errm. Is there is no entry in the msconfig Startup tab then there is no complete command to try and see!

    If this only happens at startup, it may be in via a mechanism not covered by msconfig. "Autoruns" should be. You can download Autoruns here

    http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-GB/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx

    Once again, to see the full command (equivalent column is called 'Image path' by Autoruns), you may need to widen the column by dragging the right edge of its title, the mouse pointer will change when you can drag to expand
