MSCONFIG – Cleaning Up Startup Entries

First do a backup of your registry!!!

Click start.

Click run.

Type in regedit and click ok.

Registry Editor opens.

In left column, click the plus sign in front of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and then click the plus sign to

expand each of the following:

Software

Microsoft

Windows

Current Version

Under current version, click to highlight each run you see (run, runonce, runservices, etc...) and as you do,

in the right column you will see those same listings as in msconfig. Look for the identical entries you no

longer want and right click and delete.

Do the same under HKEY_CURRENT_USER (expand the same and look for the "run" entries...right

column - delete). After doing this close out the registry editor and if you check msconfig again, those

entries will be gone. Only delete those you had unchecked or removed that appear in startup!

An alternative, which might be safer, is to run Regcleaner. (Before you run Regcleaner, use Msconfig and

re-check all the items and make a note of which ones you want to get rid of!) Go to the “Startup List” Tab

and remove all the ones you don’t want. When you run Msconfig again, those entries will be gone.

MS-DOS Compatibility Mode

When windows 98 boots up it opens in MS-DOS compatible mode. Woukd like to correct that don't know

how.

MSN Messenger – Removing It

Close all applications (Windows Messenger, IE, Outlook, Outlook Express etc)

Goto Start, Run and type (in one line)

RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%\INF\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove

Additionally, if you use the Contacts pane in Outlook Express, you will want to make one change to the

system Registry.

Click Start, Run and enter REGEDIT

Navigate to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Outlook Express

Right click in the right pane and select New, Dword value. Give it the name “Hide Messenger”. Double

click this new entry and set the value to 2. This step is needed to prevent a long delay in opening OE if you

use the Contacts pane.
