Guest BW Posted July 30, 2007 Posted July 30, 2007 I have the registry folder "Run-" under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run- The only thing in it is the default entry and MSMSGS. MSMSGS REG_SZ "C:\Program Files\Messenger\msmsgs.exe"/background Is this something that is normal? I do not even use Messenger, although I have noticed that Outlook uses it. thanks! BW

The Run- subkey is unknown to Windows, so is not processed.

Guest BW Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 Re: Registry Entry Run- Doug, thank you for your response. I am assuming that it is safe to delete this reg entry? Thanks!
