-=PCTechTalk=- Re: Interesting entries in mscofig startup

My links went directly to the file and should have presented the file to you 
open and ready to peruse.  I suspect the reason it did not work is because 
you were not logged in and don't have Yahoo keep you logged in.

I have uploaded two new screen shots: HKCU.jpg and HKLM.jpg
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/PCTechTalk/files/  (Link to the group 
files area)

Sonic works just fine.  Never had a problem with it.

Something is showing up in msconfig.... it just is not identifying itself.

Everything in HKLM\...\Run is present in msconfig except for dla
Everything in HKLM\...\Run has data in the data field

Everything in HKCU\...\Run is present in msconfig except the Sonic entry 
with no data in the data field.

This is a relatively new clean install and I have not uninstalled anything.
