very useful info..thanks...

Let's see if the Moderators are willing to put a "STICKY" on it so it doesn't disappear down the list.

Two ?'s on lost entries in one week..It gets my vote...

I've read several posts recently where one or both entries was missing from the 98/98SE/ME startup list, so I figured it was time to show everyone how to reinstate them.

Because of this thread I decided to have a look at mine. What do you know it wasn't in the registry nor was it in msconfig. Where it went I have no idea, but thanks Frank

Brindle:

I'm glad to hear you made good use of the tweak.

Great info, Frank!

Hi, CheeseBall. I'm still waiting to see if it gets listed as a STICKY so it'll stay at the top of the list.

Thanks,,,, good stuff.

The more I read these posts, the more I learn and appreciate the expertise of so many people. But, since I am a beginner, I have to ask the "stupid questions":

What is the value of moving them off the startup list? Is it a performance issue or security vulnerability?

I would be grateful for your sharing your knowlege with me - please don't hurt me!

Regards,

dimcguy:

This registry tweak shows you how to reinstate them in the startup list and not how to remove them.

These 2 should always load during startup and run in the background with Windows 98, 98SE, and ME.

Hi..having the minimum running at start up..helps performance and the load time at start-up..
Sometimes some nasties can make their way into the start up list..worth keeping the list to as few as possible..

My brother uses 98 but hes not a member here, but he's been surfing here for a while, since I joined today he wanted me to thank you for him. "Thank You flav"

Sorry for the delay in replying to you. I've been on a 3-day cave diving trip in north Florida. You're welcome.
