Msconfig

Expand Post »

Hi, on the startup processes in msconfig, how do i remove items from the list? I have uninstalled some of them and they are still there, even 2 viruses are there after they were deleted! Is it some kind of cache?

Not quite, but close- msconfig reads areas of the Registry to determine what gets displayed in its startup list. Deleting the Registry keys will clear the msconfig entries.
