Removing registry entry in winxp

First, you'd better know some information about the registry, please see the why should we know registry help page.

Important This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information please visit our how to back up and restore the registry help link.

If you no longer experience problems running programs in Safe mode, the issue is likely caused by programs that are loading while the Windows XP computer is starting.

Programs that are a part of the startup process for Windows XP are generally added to one of the following locations:

The Startup folder on the Programs menu.
The Run line for all users in the registry.
The Run line for particular users in the registry.
The Load entry for all users in the registry.

Note Because the registry is the location for all computer and program settings for Windows XP, make sure that you back up the registry and particular registry entries in case you cannot start the computer after you edit the registry. To back up the Windows XP registry, use Windows Backup, and then perform a full system backup, including the system state.

Note The Backup utility is not included in the default installation of Windows XP Home Edition. The Backup icon is not present on the Start menu in Windows XP Home Edition, nor is Backup listed in the Add Remove Programs tool for Windows XP Home Edition. For additional information about "How to install Backup from the CD-ROM in Windows XP Home Edition ", please visit it.

To back up the System State data, follow these steps:

Click Start, point to All Programs (or Programs), click Accessories, click System Tools, and then click Backup.
Click Advanced Mode.
Click the Backup tab, and then click to select the System State check box.
Click Start Backup.

This method backs up the System State data together with any other data that you have selected for the current backup operation. For more information about how to back up the system registry, you can see "How to use the Backup program to back up and restore the system state in Windows 2000 " on microsoft.

The Startup folder icons are loaded from two locations. To remove these entries, follow these steps:

Right-click Start, and then click Explore.
Locate and select the following folder, and then click Cut on the Edit menu:
Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
Create a SysDriversBak folder on the desktop, create a UserStartup folder inside this folder, open the UserStartup folder, and then click Paste on the Edit menu.
Repeat steps 1 and 2, and then locate the All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup folder.
On the Edit menu, click Cut, locate and click the SysDriversBak folder on the desktop, create an AllUsersStartup folder, and then click Paste.

To remove values for the Run line in the registry for all users, follow these steps:

Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
Locate and then click the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Click Export on the File menu.
Locate the SysDriversBak folder that you created, type HKLMRun in the File name box, and then click Save.
In the right pane, right-click each value except for the Default value, click Delete, and then click Yes to confirm.
View the related RunOnce and RunOnceEx keys to determine whether a program was not completely installed, and then repeat steps 3 through 5 with different save names to reflect the RunOnce and RunOnceEx keys.

To remove values for the Run line in the registry for the user account that you are logged on with, follow these steps:

Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
Locate and then click the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Click Export on the File menu.
Locate the SysDriversBak folder that you created, type HKCURun in the File name box, and then click Save.
In the right pane, right-click each value, and then click Delete.
View the related RunOnce key to see if a program was not completely installed, and then repeat steps 3 through 5, but change the name to reflect RunOnce.

To remove value data under Load, follow these steps:

Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
Locate and then click the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Windows
In the right pane, click Export on the File menu. If the value load has any value data, locate and click the SysDriversBak folder, type HKCUload in the File name box, and then click Save.
Double-click the load value in the right pane, remove the value in the Value Data box, and then click OK.
Restart the computer, and then test.

If the problem no longer occurs, merge the values that you removed in the following order:

Startup icons from both the All Users group and the user account that you log on with.
HKCURun
HKLMRun
HKCUload

Note To merge the values, you can double-click the .reg file in Windows Explorer or My Computer to automate the import. When you do this, you are prompted to confirm that you want to merge data into the registry. Click Yes to start the merge. After the file successfully merges into the registry, a success message appears. If the file has the wrong syntax and the merge is not successful, you receive an error message that explains that the file is not a registry script and cannot be imported to the registry.

To add the icons for the Startup menu, follow these steps:

Click Start, point to All Programs (or Programs), point to Accessories, and then click Windows Explorer
Locate and then click the SysDriversBak folder that you created earlier, open the AllUsersStartup folder, click Select All, and then click Copy on the Edit menu.
