Teach you to clear the system self-starting program (1)

We often encounter many programs that are not self-starting, and many programs that we don't want to start it. Don't think that the "Start → Program" is managed. →Starting the menu is all right. In fact, in Windows XP/2K, there are many ways to let Windows automatically start the program. The following tells you the two most important folders and eight registration keys. To see what is inside you don't want it, press the "del" button.

Folders

First, the current user-specific startup folder

This is the automatic startup of many applications. Commonly used locations, Windows automatically launches all shortcuts that are placed in this folder. The user startup folder is typically located at: \\Documents and Settings\\<username>\\"Start" menu\\Programs\\Startup, where "<username>" is the name of the currently logged in user account.

Second, a valid startup folder for all users

This is the second important place to find an automatic startup program, no matter what identity the user uses to log in to the system. The shortcut to the folder is always started automatically - this is the difference between it and the user's proprietary startup folder. This folder is typically found at: \\Documents and Settings\\All Users\\Start Menu\\Programs\\Startup.

Registry

Three, Load registration key

There is not much information about the registration key, in fact it also Ability to start the program automatically. Location: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Microsoft\\WindowsNT\\CurrentVersion\\Windows\\load.

Four Userinit registration key

Location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft \\WindowsNT\\CurrentVersion\\Winlogon\\Userinit. This also enables the program to be automatically initialized when the system starts up. Usually there is a userinit.exe under the registration key. This key allows you to specify multiple programs separated by commas, such as "userinit.exe, OSA.exe" (without quotes).

Five, Explorer\\Run registration key

Unlike load and Userinit, the Explorer\\Run key is available under HKEY_CURRENT_USER and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. The specific location is: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software \\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Policies\\Explorer\\Run, and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Policies \\Explorer\\Run.

Six, RunServicesOnce registration key

The RunServicesOnce registration key is used to start the service program. The startup time is before the user logs in, and before the other programs started by the registration key. The location of the RunServicesOnce registration key is: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Microsoft \\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\RunServicesOnce, and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE \\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\RunServicesOnce.

Seven, RunServices registration key

The program specified by the RunServices registration key runs immediately after the program specified by RunServicesOnce, but both are before the user logs in. The location of RunServices is: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Microsoft \\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\ RunServices, and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows \\CurrentV

ersion\\RunServices.

VIII. RunOnce\\Setup registration key

RunOnce\\Setup specifies the program that runs after the user logs in. Its location is: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\ CurrentVersion\\RunOnce \\Setup, and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion \\RunOnce\\Setup.

9, RunOnce registration key

The installer usually runs the program automatically with the RunOnce key, its location is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\ Windows\\CurrentVersion\\RunOnce and HKEY_CURRENT_USER \\Software\\Microsoft \\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\RunOnce. The RunOnce key under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE will run the program immediately after the user logs in. The runtime is before the program specified by the other Run keys. The RunOnce key under HKEY_CURRENT_USER runs after the operating system processes the other Run keys and the contents of the Startup folder. If it is XP, you also need to check HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\RunOnceEx.

10, Run registration key

Run is the most commonly used registration key for autorun programs, located at: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Run, and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Run. The Run key under HKEY_CURRENT_USER runs immediately following the Run key under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, but both are before the Startup folder.

Summary as follows:
