  Hello J.Carlson

  If you want to remove inactive entries in msconfig, you must modify the registry.

  Be very careful if you decide to do.

  Back up the registry before making any changes.

  Start/run and type

  Regedit

  Ok

  When Open regedit

  File/export.

  Give it a name will recognize you again and save it on the hard drive

  Then navigate to the

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE Tools\MSConfig\startupfolder.

  You'll find a subkey for each disabled item.

  Delete only entries for the mobility programmes

  And also

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run.

  In the right pane, delete the value of MSConfig.

  You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

  When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

  -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
  -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
  -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

  You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

  1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
  2. click on the System Restore tab.
  3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
  4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)

• Must be logged in as an administrator to remove startup programs

  Why can't request removal of startup programs.  Message application for registration as an administrator.  How do I do that?

  Original title: removal of startups

  You should be able to remove the startup items by using the msconfig tool.  This can be done by clicking Start-> Run-> msconfig and press ENTER.  From there, go to the Startup tab and uncheck any programs you do not want to run at startup.  Be careful on what you uncheck the box and not just uncheck an item if you don't know what it is.

• How to remove startup programs in "msconfig".

  First of all, care. Windows 7 Home Premium, SP1, 64-bit.

  I'm not having the problem to disable startup programs, but trying to remove them from the list available to a start-up program. Some of these programs (the executable file of the command and its location) no longer exist on my system. Is there a way to remove these items in the startup list, and if so, how?

  Unfortunately the only real way to do this is through the registry editor.

  If you look at the line for the entry to remove it will track the path of the registry which organizes the statement. You need access to this location and delete the entry.

  As always sophisticated editing that the registry should be done with caution and a backup taken 1. If you are not sure then do not.

  There is a caveat. If you deleted the line (not checked it) then it will not be there. In order to stop this loading MsConfig moves the entry to an inactive backup key. In order to find the location, you will need to make the current line.

  Because it has been moved it not treated during startup so other than to try to keep well stored, there is no specific does delete the line. Indeed, if the line points to a nonexistent file or a path then there no same effect if left. Registry of treatment so much more optimized in Windows 7 and entered orphan have no measurable effect on boot time. Delays of timeout that occurred were resolved.

• How manage/remove startup programs in Windows 7

  Crikey!

  You people are things made and actions 'hard '!

  With "how manage/remove programs startup in Windows 7?",...

  Everything I've ever done is to find the startup program (in the "All programs" list, have a good overview of what is there, then, VERY SIMPLY, remove those I don't want to open at startup.)

  When THIS is done, the program (s), I have DELETED does NOT start.

  At the start, never!

  Period!

  Some software packages will place their TITLE... at the beginning, without your consent.

  And, it's 'how' I get rid of them. I have this same title... in the "All programs" list, in any case!

  Autoruns is a great program for geeks, but for the average home user it generates so much information it can be a nightmare.

  Stick to the MsConfig - Startup tab in a 1st time, but start in programs and features when cleaning. You don't need to worry about something in the boot if you can remove the program anyway.

  Printer drivers HP is a good example. Many have their program of customer Participation and the consumables installation order plated on by default, but for the majority of users, as they are not necessary. Despite a message claiming that, on the contrary they do not affect printer operation at all.

• How to remove startup programs to include information system?

  I have two questions:

  1. how to eliminate some startup programs - that is to say small icons that appear in the lower right of the screen after the home screen?

  2. What does the following error message, and how can I correct: «entry point procedure RegSetKeyValue is not found in the dynamic library of ink ADVAPTI32.dll»

  To answer #1 question, you can use the program 'msconfig' to Microsoft

  (Start-> Run-> "msconfig")

  to toggle the elements that run at startup... but especially for diagnostic purposes.

  A better way is to download the freeware from Microsoft "AutoRuns".  When you run it, it will show a list of items that run at startup and allow you to uncheck all that you desire.

• Pavilion 2000: startup program names 'false '?

  Hello

  So, since I restarted my laptop, I had this startup program named "false" when it opens at startup, it is a window asking what program should I use to open the 'false' but I tried everything. I even tried to delete it, but he said I can't. And I wonder is this safe program because I don't know if this program is integrated or I could have installed it accedentally. I currently use Microsoft Security essencials as my security software.

  Kind regards

  Fernan

  Hello

  If the program still appears, then you can try this steps.

  NOTE: BEFORE YOU TRY WE RECOMMEND TO TAKE TO THE TOP OF ALL YOUR DATA.

  1. reboot the appliance

  2. Press f8 and boot in safe mode with n/w

  3 run - > msconfig and try if still exists.

  4 restart the machine in normal mode

  5. run - > regedit-> and on top, select search and type the value false and search

  6. it will go to the location of the file, try to remove.

  7. for the next selection press f3, it will search the files again to do this until you remove the traces of the files.

  8. restart the unit and check

  9. If nothing works, best suggestion would be to reimage the unit.

• Unwanted startup programs/applications

  If I use msconfig to remove startup programs unwanted, that will allow me to also remove the applications that are launched at startup, because they are in the Group of network policy?

  Group Policy in part controls what users can or not do on a computer system.

  In most cases, if you are an administrator then you are 'the' group of all features to set up xp.

  So basically, if group policy is set up correctly, then you should be able to disable the startup via msconfig.

  Also, keep in mind that startup programs is not the only area that can cause starting problems.

  Look under the Services tab in Msconfig, and then click on / activate the option 'hide' and look at services of third parties who are also registered at startup as well.

  Incidentally, you might want to doodle on the paper that you disabled so you can back up the track, just in case your plans don't go quite right.
