From: charliech on 2 Jan 2010 21:53 I have been trying to streamline my start-up items and working thru MSCONFIG, I see a couple of items that I cannot figure out! The two items are as follows: No "Startup Item" Name No "Command" Site listed - One has the following in "Location"; " HKLM\software\microsoft\windows\current version\run - The other has; "HKCU\software\microsoft\windows\current version\run What are these items and can I safely uncheck them in MSCONFIG. Any input/suggestions are appreciated. charliec
