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 ? winapp2.ini additions thread winapp2.ini github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishi Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Yeah, show a screenshot of your situation there and show it so we can see it and tell you what you can do. I love computer maintenance tasks. Some of my favorite programs: Wordpad -basic word processing Notepad - temporary clipboard and basic scripting module Windows Media Player 12- video, music and online radio player Windows Media Center - live TV, local FM radio CCleaner- handy computer maintenance tool If something fails to work after using the registry cleaner, use SYSTEM RESTORE.

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
