Re: Cleaning up msconfig

Or use "MSConfigCleanUp" it removes only orphaned entries from MSConfig.

Keys and entries created under Startupreg or Startupfolder depending on
where the aplication had been started from, the Run key or the Start Menu.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig\startupreg
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig\startupfolder

Yes there is a way to get rid of them. Doing the following will do it but
make sure that when deleting you delete the correct item

Regedit\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOTWARE\Microsoft\Shared
Tools\MSConfig\Startupreg and highlight and delete the unwanted entries

Thanks, Peter...
Still didn't get them all, especially the mystery blank command one.

I am running XP SP3.
Is was looking at msconfig as I was annoyed by a few startup items such
as
Adobe updater, etc.
I unchecked the boxes, rebooted and everything is OK.
But I have a few startup commands that I have unchecked which are
still
there even when I uninstalled the associated programs, as well as one
with
a
blank command column.
Is there any way to get rid of these unchecked startup entries so I
don't
have to look at them anymore?
Thank you!
