How do I remove these items from the startup list?
« on: October 14, 2005, 02:47:12 PM »
I\'ve unticked everything I don\'t want to start up when I turn my comp on, and even tried to remove the items from the list altogether via the regestry, most of the things I wanted to remove have gone, but there are some still there.

All the things that are unchecked I want to remove, how do I do it?
Don't waste your words I don't need anything from you. I don't care where you've  been or what you plan to do. I am the resurrection and I am the light. I  couldn't ever bring myself to hate you as I'd like.

Use a registry editor like RegCleaner, or try HijackThis.

That\'s where I tried the first time, I deleted the things I found there, restarted my comp, but they are still listed in the startup section.

Actually, I think I found it, it was in the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Shared Tools\\MSConfig\\startupreg bit
