Re: Windows Startup

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Run may not exist in this key...
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

It does not exist on my machine.

I don't know why, using F3 to find keys has never worked for me.

Navigate to the location, like you would in Window Explorer.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
would be
[+] HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
[+] SOFTWARE
[+] Microsoft
[+] Windows
[+] CurrentVersion
[+] Run
click on each [+] to expand.

Hope this helps. Let us know.
