Vista - MSCONGIG Question

05-23-2009

I am running Vista 64 and installed a program which apparently had a virus or
I got it using IE8. I found an entry in the start up tab that was causing a
problem. I went into the registry and deleted the item from the startup tab
and I also disabled it in the startup tab. The startup tab still shows the
item even though it is disabled and deleted from the registry.

Why does it still show in MSCONFIG and how do I delete it from the start up
entry

Hello Neil,

Using Method Three in OPTION TWO of the tutorial below, double check in all of the registry locations to see if it may have more than one entry. Afterwards, you may need to close and reopen msconfig to refresh it.

Startup Programs - Enable or Disable

Hope this helps,
Shawn
