Dumb question: Getting rid of msconfig window

Hi. Last time I visited, you guys helped me out greatly concerning a spyware issue I was having. I followed all the steps you told me to and it worked about great. However, I must have forgotten to check something or unclick something because for some reason, every time I restart my PC, this msconfig window pops up:

🖼Click to load external image (Posted Image)

How can I make this stop from happening?

On perhaps an unrelated note, one more dumb question. Whenever I attempt to Run->Regedit, I get this:

🖼Click to load external image (Posted Image)

I need to change my registry for something, but I can't because of this. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Chuck

The first box (MSCONFIG) will always come up as long as you have "Selective Startup" checked. What do you have disabled in there, and why?

Can you navigate to this folder:

C:\Windows\system32

Find the autoexec.nt file, open it with Notepad, and post it's contents here?

Hmm…okay, the first problem was easy enough to fix. However, as far as the second problem goes, I can't find this file: C:\Windows\system32\autoexec.nt Is it under \Windows\system32\?

That's where it's supposed to be….

Before you do anything, try this:

Go to:

Start > Run

In the box, type regedit.exe then press (or click OK)

I noticed in the pic you supplied, your machine is trying to run a "com" file when it should be running an "exe" file instead.

If that doesn't fix you up here is a link to a solution:

Please post back & let me know how things are progressing.

Wow, I have the mental prowress of one of these:

All this time, I was typing "regedit.com" instead of "regedit.exe." It works just fine with my hooves type the right command. Thank you for catching that/helping me.
