Startup questions

[brents]

Hi. I'm using a Dell Latitude CPi laptop with windows 98. I have to run it in "selective startup" and that's fine but some programs that I have installed and didn't like and uninstalled are still in startup. When I bootup I get a window that is looking for the folders.Running "Selective Start" solves the problem. Is there some way to take the uninstalled programs out of start up in "System Confg. Utility? I have nothing in startup in programs.
In "system configuration utility" "General" The box on "Process Winstart Bat File" is unchecked and faded out so it can't be checked. Everything else is checked on that page. When I click on "Advanced" the box on "Use SCSI Double-bufferings" is checked but also faded out. Everything else on that page is unchecked.
Could any of these things be adding to my problem on having to run my laptop with the "Hardware acceleration" on low to keep it from locking up when scrolling?
Thanks for you help.

As long as they (the TSR’s) are unchecked under the startup tab in scoffing, they should be disabled from loading with windows.

To permanently remove them look under the following registry key,Hkey_local_machine\software\microsoft\windows\ currentversion\run Also look under any keys that say Run- or runonce- and delete these keys as they are the disabled options.

Also look in the startup folder (under your program files folder) for any shortcuts there that will link to programs that will start with windows.

Click on start->run

type msconfig and press enter

under the startup tab,

uncheck any program that you do not want to run at statup.

That will save you registry edit

Whoa iisbob! Surely you mean delete the VALUES within the keys [select those you want to permanently remove], not the keys themselves.
[You right-click on the value and select delete]

The two important keys are the disablement keys for
Run [thats Run-] and
RunServices [not sure about this one, could be RunServicesEx]

RunOnce [or RunOnceEx] will seldom have any value in it since it is only used to run a program once then delete the value [when told to reboot].
