This might not be the best place to ask this, but... Everyone knows that Quicktime and Real Player are shit when it comes to putting things in your startup key (TkBell.exe and QuickTimeTask which fucks up ALOT of stuff). I don't want alternative players, or any added software to keep their little startup proggies from doing just that. SO I had the idea to do a batch file @ startup to keep them out of the Run key in HKLM. This is the only idea I can come up with is an old school batch file that would run @ startup to put them in to the Run- key (There's no option to keep these fukers @ bay in any program menus). Then I thought.... uh, that wouldn't work, because they would have already been initialized @ startup. Right? Here's what I got so far: REGEDIT4 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersi on\Run-] "TkBellExe"="\"C:\\Program Files\\Common Files\\Real\\Update_OB\\realsched.exe\" -osboot" "QuickTime Task"="\"C:\\WINDOWS\\SYSTEM\\QTTASK.EXE\" -atboottime" Any ideas? |

Neh.. crap. It would ask me every single time @ startup "If I would like to merge this into the registry" There's usually a /y switch after some DOS commands that will turn off the prompt... but for a batch file? HMMMMM Dammit I know. I love a challenge. |

Plus msconfig doesn't always work. When Quicktime initializes inside a webpage in IE, it loads the Quicktimetask module in the Run key EVERY TIME. Doesn't do that when watched in Mozilla! So even if there is an entry for Quicktime tast in the Run- key, it's still added to the Run key. YARRGH Same thing goes for Real Player, 'cept it loads it every time no matter what. I DON'T WANT TO CHECK FOR YOUR STUPID PROGRAM UPDATES EVERY TIME!!!! There, hope they got the message. |

Nope. $30 for something I already have w/ Systemworks. I didn't see that it would prevent stuff in startup, either. Unless I'm mistaken. |

Did u see my post #3... "msconfig doesn't always work..." msconfig startup tab is just a GUI to the Run keys in the registry. Even with those entries in the Run- key (aka unchecked in msconfig) they still get put back in the Run key when Quicktime runs inside IE and when Realplayer runs anways. It's one big fuckmess!!! I'll check out HijackThis, but I hope it doesn't install any extra software in startup. A batchfile wouldn't install anything. I see this as a general help for anyone else who wants these damn things out of their startup; Not just for my qualms. I'll post elsewhere, like some techie boards and see what I come up with... I'll let you all know if I can get it working or not. Thx all |

in w2k i freqently delete most startup entries. it has never effected any program or plugin or whatever plus it speeds up things. you shouldn't delete more than those, however :) |
