NoName startup item in msconfig/start
I ran msconfig to stop loading of a few things to see how it would affect my startup time - Zonealarm, Nerocheck, like that, and I noticed a startup item with no name.

" " (no name) - " " (no command) - HKLM\SOFTWARE\Mocrosoft Windows\Current version\Run

There is no strange icon in the systray. How can I find out what this involves?
Thanks for the help, hope I'm in the right place.

It is a leftover entry from either an UNinstall or a malware removal.

There is nothing there to be concerned about.

these startups are managed by msconfig itself. So, there is no need to worry about that.
