Housekeeping in msconfig

You probably know the msconfig utility that allows you to control the startup applications in Windows. We'll do a little cleaning here in the registry to get a tab "Startup" in Msconfig without unnecessary or obsolete entries.

Recall that msconfig is a very handy tool that allows in particular to monitor the startup applications that start with Windows. To run it, just go in the start menu, choose Run ... then type Msconfig.exe. The Startup tab allows then remove applications of your choice (do not remove the programs necessary for the proper operation of Windows!).

To remove programs that launch via msconfig, everyone (or almost) knows the following key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER
\\ Software \\ Microsoft \\ Windows \\ CurrentVersion \\ Run and

HKEY_CURRENT_USER \\ Software \\ Microsoft \\ Windows \\ CurrentVersion \\ RunOnce

But all programs are not there. Indeed, some (like MSN for example) can leave traces elsewhere.

To delete the other, simply go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \\ SOFTWARE \\ Microsoft \\ Shared Tools \\ MSConfig \\ startupreg
Here you can remove old waste programs. If this key does not exist, so there is nothing to delete.

's a useful trick to have a Startup tab in Msconfig everything beautiful everything clean ...
