hey guys
when you disable something in the start up does the key in the registry get deleted? or does it get moved to another place? i was under the assumption that the value would be changed. if it gets moved does anyone know where it gets moved to in the registry?
How did you "disable" it? What program is it that is in your startup reg jey?
It doesn't and the bad thing is you cant delete it from the UI either.It has to be removed manually from the registry.
there is no specific program im just wondering how it works for my own knowledge but to make up a senario just say msn messenger is the program that is starting up that i disabled through msconfig (win xp pro) what happens to the reg key when i unclick the check box beside the object ?
i think SystemMechanic deletes the keys if you specify it to i will try it and get back to youQuote:

ah i see :)
it deletes it from the registry right away.
really ? damn thanks for the reply rory
you can actually test it, open up regedit, goto
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
(or current user for some software)
Open Msconfig and Uncheck an item and click apply.
Refresh the registry.
Looks like you're right :wave: ,sorry for the confusion :o
damn alright thanks guys :) :wave:
