Wininfo.exe and my Desktop not apearing on login.,
When ever i log into any of the users on my computer I
come up with this blank desktop, no Taskbar, no icons, nothing at all but my wallpaper. If I Alt-Tab-Delete to bring up the task manager I find a proccess running called "wininfo.exe", if I end this proccess my desktop appears as normal and it all runs fine from there. I tried un-checking it on the startup list, but once i restart it just rechecks its self. I cant seem to find anyway to stop it. I don't think its an important windows proccess because if I end it, everything else runs perfect. This happens on all users, any access level. I've tried making a new user account but it happens on that to. Thanks for the help. |

Hi Alex,
This is a tricky one. This one is listed both under run and run once. You need to follow this process: Uncheck it via Start/Run/msconfig. Then go to Start/Run/Regedit and check all four of these keys and remove the entry. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Run HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\RunOnce HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\RunOnce Once you have removed the runkeys again, run this script. It will remove the registry keys stored for the program under msconfig. Clear Disabled Items from Msconfig Startup (Line 148) http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm None of the above will uninstall your program, it will just disable it from running upon boot and remove the icon (if any) from the Notification Area. -- All the Best, Kelly MS-MVP Win98/XP [AE-Windows® XP] Troubleshooting Windows XP http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com Top 10 Frequently Asked Questions and Answers http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/top10faqs.htm "Alex" wrote in message ...
