Stop Msconfig.exe's Post-Boot Confirmation from Popping Up

[Guest phal]

I want to forever stop all automatic changes to my startup menu in XP. I am

using Spybot S&D's Tea Timer which does a good job of preventing the registry

changes, but everytime I reboot, it get the post boot confirmation pop up.

I check the box to "do not show this warning again" but still get the

warning every time I reboot.

Can I completely block all non physical startup changes somehow and do away

with teatimer or is there a way to modify the registry to kill the post boot

confirmation?

I do want the ability to manually input into MSCONFIG.

I have been dealing with this for years and would really like to find a

solution.

Thanks...gary

Sorry it took so long to reply. The first time I tried this, I backed up my

registry, made a new restore point in system restore, applied the fix and

nothing changed.

I then restored the point and was going to try again. The machine crashed.

It took me a couple of days to figure out that the problem was in the restore

point and not the reg change.

So after a week or so, I tried again. I did not notice any change in the

post boot popup and things are still being added which changes my startup. I

did the change as noted.

Is there something else I can try?

thanks...gary moore
