Run at startup without getting noticed

When ever you add a program to run at Start up it appears in the startup folder. You may be wondering if is there any way that you can add a software to the start up and still go undetected. then the answer is "Yes"



This Registry Hack will allows a program to be launched at startup without any trace of the executable in the Startup folder on the Start Menu . Go To regedit (Start>>>Run >>>type regedit )

Navigate to :

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ Software\Microsoft\Windows\ CurrentVersion\Run

Finally Modify/Create the Value Data Type(s) and Value Name(s) as given below:

• Data Type: REG_SZ [String Value]


• Value Name: [Enter the Name of Program Executable]


• Value Data: [Enter the Path to the Program Executable]

Exit Registry and Reboot your system.This is for win xp. Back up your registry before you do it(click here)

Edit Master Startup List

Many of the programs that start up at boot time do not figure in the Startup folder. If you want to stop more than one application from loading at bootup, you will normally need to go

and turn off the preference in each application one by one.



Tedious and time consuming. This Registry Hack can help you do this in one go. Just open Regedit(START>>RUN>>Type REGEDIT)

Navigate to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows

\CurrentVersion\Run

And to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows

\CurrentVersion\Run

All the programs that load at boot time will be specified under these two keys. Review the applications listed in this list and delete all the entries you don?t want started up at boot time. Next bootup, they?ll be gone.



Be careful not to delete needed programs such as anti-virus and antispyware programs. You should be able to identify them by their path if not by the file name.





You need not restart the computer for the change/effect to take place. Back up your registry before you do it(click here)
