PROGRAMS popup on startup

[Guest Russ M]

When rebooting I get a window titled PROGRAMS that pops up. I have stopped

all loading programs, one at a time, but it still comes up. It would be nice

to know where it is coming from and how to stop it.

Is there something in the Startup folder in Start, Programs? Or perhaps

you may look in MSCONFIG to see if there is a "broken" entry for an

program that is trying to start but is missing the quote marks to make

it a proper command.

Check this node,

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce]

 

AND

 

RUN NODE.

RunOnce has 'value not set' and I do not have a key titled RUN NODE

I did see a couple lines that do not have quotations but how do I correct

them, assuming they need correction?

If you want to dig deeper:

Try Autoruns from the MS Windows SysInternals site:

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/ProcessesAndThreads/Autoruns.mspx

 

AutoRuns will show/list all apps/etc. that load/run when you first boot ...

(the 'Boot Execute' tab),

when you logon (the 'Logon' tab) and other programs that load

(grouped by labeled tabs) for easy viewing.

 

It also provides the ability to selectively allows you to stop

(use with care) any program that you don't want to load.

You can undo any changes you have made.

 

Note: To get additional details on an item in the list you can't

readily identify you may need to highlight the item (right click) and use

the 'Search Online' option to get the details,

especially useful for the more obscure items in the list.

Click Start, Run and enter MSCONFIG Go to the Startup tab. Locate any

entry that has a long file or path name (has spaces in it). Ensure that

these entries have quotes before and after the entry. Note the location

of the entry as well. If its in the Registry, you'll need to manually edit

the associated Registry entry to correct this. If its loading from a start

menu shortcut, you'll have to change the shortcut's properties.
