scanregw in msconfig
In the start up sequence within MSconfig, does the position of the scanregw
make a difference? We had lost it, now have installed it in the registry's local machine/ software/ microsoft /windows/ current version /run folder. It is backing up the registry daily, I was wondering if its sequence location was critical. Thanks wouldbee |

We had lost it, now have installed it in the registry's local machine/ software/ microsoft /windows/ current version /run folder. That's the correct key. The value should be- C:\WINDOWS\scanregw.exe /autorun (assuming c:\windows) It is backing up the registry daily, I was wondering if its sequence location was critical. The order in the msconfig list, isn't the order that they are run. The order is dependent on where in the startup "axis" the process is loaded. You're ok there. |

If I read you correct, WIN98 puts it in the right run order thanks.

Yep. It's right.

You have put it in the proper place. "StartupCop" would not move them
around for you in the Startup Group, but here is an interesting Help screen from it... http://www.pcmag.com/ 's StartupCop has "undo", and it is more than a combination of "START, Run, MSInfo32, Software Environment, Startup Programs" and "START, Run, MSConfig, Startup tab". It can even do a permanent delete. You may create multiple "profiles" of Startup items. .................Start.....of a StartupCop help screen............. Windows loads startup items from three locations in the Registry, two lines in WIN.INI, and two folders. Observation reveals that it always loads the seven groups in the same order. Here they are, in order: 1. Registry (Machine Service) - Each value in the Registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\RunServices defines a startup item. The value's data string is the command to be executed at startup. 2. Win.ini (Load=) - The value of the Load= key in the [Windows] section of WIN.INI consists of one or more startup program names, separated by semicolons. Neither long filenames nor command-line arguments may be used. (Windows NT users - see note below) 3. Win.ini (Run=) - The value of the Run= key in the [Windows] section of WIN.INI consists of one or more startup program names, separated by semicolons. Neither long filenames nor command-line arguments may be used. (Windows NT users - see note below) 4. Registry (Machine Run) - Each value in the Registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run defines a startup item. The value's data string is the command to be executed at startup. 5. Registry (Per-User Run) - Each value in the Registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\RunServices defines a startup item. The value's data string is the command to be executed at startup. 6. Common Startup Group - Each shortcut in the common startup group (by default, C:\Windows\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup) is launched at startup. This group does not appear on the Start menu. Some Windows installations will not have a common startup group. 7. Startup Group - Each shortcut in the Start menu's startup group (by default, C:\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup) is launched at startup. Startup Cop displays each item's group number in the Priority column. Within each group, enabled items are shown first, then disabled items, and finally items that are ready for removal. The groups load in the order specified, and enabled items within a group will load in roughly the order shown, though this may vary. Because the order of the items is significant, Startup Cop does not permit sorting into different orders by clicking the column headings. ....snip ..................End......of a StartupCop help screen.... -- Thanks or Good Luck, There may be humor in this post, and, Naturally, you will not sue, should things get worse after this, PCR "wouldbee" wrote in message ... | If I read you correct, WIN98 puts it in the right run order thanks. | | "Bill Blanton" wrote: | | "wouldbee" wrote in message ... | In the start up sequence within MSconfig, does the position of the scanregw | make a difference?
