Default Msconfig

Is there a way to delete an item in the system configuration list when using
the msconfig command? I'm using win xp home.

Hi Jerry,

Yes, you remove the associated registry entry. However, this is not =
appropriate unless the associated program has been uninstalled (not =
deleted). If the entry is not disabled properly, it will be recreated =
anyways. A disabled entry for installed software can (and should) remain =
in place as it does not affect system performance or the system boot.

Registry keys affected:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\RunOnce
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Run
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\RunOnce
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig

Best of Luck,
