msconfig startup list location

**Detah** · 11-27-2005, 04:20 PM

I am looking for the true location of the items found in the Startup tab found in msconfig. I dont really know how this information is stored in WIN98SE. Perhaps it is a set of multiple keys in the registry. Or perhaps it is in some .ini file somewhere. I dont know. If you know, please let me know.

Thanks
Detah

They are stored in the startup folder and in the registry

That does not answer my question.
If you do not know, please dont post.

Bless you gentlemen.
That is it.
Thank you.

FYI, if the registry item has a minus sign after it (like Run-), then the items inside that folder have been unchecked in msconfig. From there, you can simply delete the key and the item will disappear from msconfig entirely.
