I installed my Sound Blaster card which put "Starter.exe" in my start-up group which results with a mixer icon appearing in Systray.
This is an audio mixer which I probably have absolutely no use for and would like to remove from start-up to keep background actvity to a minimum.
I unchecked it (multiple times) in MSCONFIG only to find it back again upon each subsequent start-up.
The install also added the following registry keys:
#1: HKLocal Machine\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Name: EnsoniqMixer Value: "starter.exe"
#2: Same as above but with Run- (dash)
Same name and value.
Can I get rid of the mixer by removing (or editing) the registry keys or will this action cause problems?
Is there another, possibly better method of removal?
I'm not entirely comfortable tinkering with the registry.
