  • Removing Win98 Startup items

    From D. Bateman@derrick.bateman@ntlworld.com to comp.os.ms-windows.misc on Monday, July 07, 2003 17:28:22
    From Newsgroup: comp.os.ms-windows.misc

    In Win98 one can disable unwanted Startup programs by going to Run/Regedit/Startup and unticking the boxes. Eventually there are a number
    of items in the list that are never going to be used again. Is there a way tidying the list by removing these items permanently?

    It is Run/Msconfig/startup and unticking the boxes not Run/Regedit/Startup.
    I believe this is a typo.
    To delete those from unused entries from startup, try regcleaner

    I stand corrected, msconfig it is.

    Some are stored on the hard drive as
    "c:\windows\start menu\programs\Disabled Startup Items".
    Others are stored in the registry in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run- HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run-
    Note the minus sign at the end of the keyname.
