If you don't understand the registry, don't use it ;-).

Take a screen shot (if you know how) of your "startup" and we can tell you what can be disabled based on your computer habits ?

Yeah, show a screenshot of your situation there and show it so we can see it and tell you what you can do.

You were told right. I've had nothing but problems using reg cleaners. Why? because I don't understand the registry and am unable to make wise decisions about what to "clean" and what to leave alone. Extra entries in your registry does not harm your system at all. Get rid of your temp files and cookies and internet history and MRUs - if you must. BUT leave the registry alone until such time as you have achieved a high level of expertise.

OR - Use ERUNT to back up the registry BEFORE you destroy it so you can put it back IF you can get into your system up and running again. :D
