how to remove links to programs which run on startup from msconfig. there are lot of links even to program which i even uninstalled. help needed guys thanx is advance.

Just open 'msconfig' and in startup tab, deselect the unwanted programs.

You can delete them from the Registry Editor.

1. Hit Win-Key + R and type in regedit.
2. Nav to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
3. Delete what's out-dated.

Try the msconfig cleanup utility (freeware) available at *www.soft32.com/download_79479.html

thats Qwertymanic thats what i am looking for buts not helping it has only two entries which one avast one of vttimer and program link which are disabled are not there

Check following:

Code:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce
HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

And if you don't want the desired entries, it means those are corrupted entries and are showing in msconfig by mistake. You can get rid of them by deleting them in following location:

Code:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig

Under this key you'll get 4 more keys. Your desired entries should be present under "startupreg" key.
