Default Quick Time Explorer

There is another program that can play QuickTime media :

And another for RealPlayer :

Both work well with Win ME.

Heather,

The unchecked entry is unimportant since the file it refers to is no
longer present. This is where the cleanup button on Win Me's Msconfig |
Startup can be useful although it also can remove wanted entries such as
point32.exe from Microsoft's Intellipoint. Normally I use regedit to
remove such dead entries.

Using regedit, unchecked (rather than checked) items may be found as
follows depending upon the entry in "Loaded from" in MSConfig | Startup.
Browse in the LH pane clicking the + signs until you get to the required
key and in the RH pane you will see any values stored in that key
together with their associated data. Unwanted values can be deleted.
HKCU = HKEY_CURRENT_USER and HKLM = HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE

[Registry (Per-User Run)]
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run-

[Registry (Machine Run)]
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run-

[Registry (Machine Service)]
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run Services-

In addition unchecked items may also appear in either

[Common Startup Group]
C:\Windows\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Disabled Startup Items
or
[Startup Group]
C:\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Disabled Startup Items

and finally an unchecked [run=] entry in Win.ini will appear as a
norun=???? entry in the [windows] section of the file win.ini.
Sometimes you might also come across a noload entry.
