Re: Registry Colum Order

I am getting the following Warning each time I boot the
computer. It occurs just before the tray is finished loading.

An error occurred when trying to read the column order from the
registry, the column order will revert to default settings.

How do I fix this?

Unknowable without more specifics. Such as the process kicking up
the error... One might try disabling all system tray processes and
then testing each one on a reboot. One might try tracking registry
actions using Sysinternals REGMON with the "Log Boot" option
perhaps.

I suspect a registry key value/data is damaged or perhaps missing,
but one must have more information that narrows this down to a
process or knowable key in the registry to proceed I believe.

Have you tried just changing the "column order" in each and every
process that is in the System Tray and has such options? That
might cause new information to overwrite existing "bad" stored
settings. Try this first.

As always, ensure the system is free of malware.
