Re: msconfig - startup question

Hi, Rick -- and others!

Thanks for your response. Actually, I went into
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig\startupreg

and couldn't find anything there --

But I went one level (folder) deeper into the "Shell" folder, and there it
all was -- see below. So which of these can I change/delete without causing
the Registry to go pear-shaped. I'm not registry-savvy, but can do what
needs to be done.
Thanks again.
