    disabled startup reg keys[resolved]

    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?

    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.

    I'm not talking about 3rd party apps.I meant the inbuilt msconfig>startup UI

    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.
