Startup tab
I have double entries in the startup tab of msconfig.
How do I get rid of them? I guess I unticked them but the program replaced them again. One example is Ms Office Initialization. Thank you |

Click StartRun, type MSINFO32 and click OK.
In the left pane of the System Information window, click the + sign to expand the "Software Environment" category. In the left pane, click to select "Startup Programs"....they will appear in a list on the right. Press Ctrl-A on the keyboard, which will highlight everything in the list on the right. Press Ctrl-C to copy the list to the 'clipboard'. Open a reply to this message, click in the body of the message and press Ctrl-V to paste the list from the clipboard to the message, and post back to this thread. -- Glen Ventura, MS MVP Shell/User, A+ http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm http://www.microsoft.com/communities...t/default.mspx "Jorge" wrote in message ...

Thanks Glee, here it goes, but it does not seem to include everything I have
in the startup tab, as many are deselected there. Microsoft Office Startup group and LoadPowerProfile Regustry have double entries, one of which is deselected.

In order for the items to be listed using the method I gave you, they must be
enabled in msconfig first. You can enable every item on the startup tab by checking all the unchecked boxes and clicking OK, BUT do NOT reboot when prompted. Run the msinfo32 procedure I described, then you can go back and uncheck the items that you had originally disabled. Post that longer list if you wish. LoadPowerProfile is supposed to have a double entry, as are some anti-virus app's entries. Your other double entries, such as Office Startup, probably occurred by disabling the item in msconfig, and then getting it enabled again through the program itself. With Office Startup, you can more easily disable it by deleting the shortcut to it in the Start Menu Programs StartUp folder. Then go to msconfig and enable the duplicate entry, but don't reboot, and go back and delete *that* shortcut from the Start Menu Programs StartUp folder. See MS MVP Ron Badour's reply he http://groups.google.co.uk/group/mic...c54b2a8633f58d The items in the Startup list in msconfig are read from the Windows startup locations in the Registry, the win.ini and system.ini files, and the StartUp folders. They can be disabled (or also removed entirely) by removing them from there, but a much easier tool for this than msconfig, is a third party freeware such as Startup Manager or Startup Control Panel, both available he http://home.ptd.net/~don5408/toolbox/startupcpl/ You first enable ALL the startup items in msconfig, but do not reboot. Then, start the startup freeware manager you chose, and disable those you want temporarily disabled, and delete those items that you do not want. See here for mo Clean up your startup group: http://www.rickrogers.org/clean.htm Startup Programs Loading: http://aumha.org/a/loads.htm The locations used to load programs at Startup a -the load= and run= lines in the win.ini -the [386Enh] section of the system.ini -C:\WINDOWS\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp -C:\Windows\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup -the registry keys: KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Run HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\RunServices HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Run HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\RunOnce HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\RunOnce HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\RunServicesOnce HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\RunOnce\Setup HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\RunOnceEx An item you disable with msconfig will be moved....for example, an entry in the Run key will be moved to the Run- key (Run minus). msconfig shows the items in those disabled locations as being "unchecked". msinfo32 simply does not see them. -- Glen Ventura, MS MVP Shell/User, A+ http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm "Jorge" wrote in message ...

If you have an item in "MSConfig, Startup tab" duplicated, but one is
checked & the other(s) are not, check them all & click "Apply, OK". It will ask that you reboot. Answer "No". You will be left with just one, if they were true duplicates. "Then you should either uninstall the programs you don't want loaded or use their setup/config programs to disable the parts you don't want loaded", says Richard G. Harper (MVP MPS-D). But if it doesn't work, or you have an unchecked one without a duplicate, then... MSConfig keeps it in Startup, just in case you want to check it again. It has not been loaded to run, as Ctrl-Alt-Del shows. It has been moved to a Minus (-) Key in the Registry. To remove it from the Registry, you may navigate to the Key, and delete the entry under it. That will also remove it from MSConfig Startup, where you will no longer be able to check it. It's probably under one of these Keys: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Run- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\RunServices - ^... That minus sign wrapped away from "RunServices-". Also he "C:\WINDOWS\Start Menu\Programs\Disabled Startup Items" "START, Run, Win.ini". Delete any 'norun' entries under the [Windows] section. You would navigate to each key, by clicking the plus signs in the left pane. When you see "Run-", click it and look in the right pane, for what looks like the one your looking for. R-Clk it in the right pane and select "delete". However, first: "Registry menu, Export Registry File". This will create a .reg file of that Minus Key, which you may run (by clicking) to undo the delete you are about to do. All of that can more easily be done with http://www.pcmag.com/ ' RegEdit+, which has a customizable "Favorites" list, which includes those Minus Keys. It also has automatic "undo". Registry Detective is another worthy program freely downloadable there. StartupCop may really be what you need, also there. Watch out, keep the LoadPowerProfiles, and, I guess, any virus scanner duplicates. -- Thanks or Good Luck, There may be humor in this post, and, Naturally, you will not sue, should things get worse after this, PCR "Jorge" wrote in message ... | I have double entries in the startup tab of msconfig. | | How do I get rid of them? | | I guess I unticked them but the program replaced them again.

You can download the free MSConfig Cleanup from
