Hello;

In XP, all background processes were listed under "Run" in System Registry. In Windows 7, however, it seems that only some are there.

Where can I find them in Windows 7 Pro?

Thanks!

The latter... I'd like to remove some of them that loads at startup.

Press Windows Logo, type in run, press enter, type in msconfig, click on the startup tab. Hope this helps :D.

I know that method. I've read that it's now built into Task Scheduler. Is that right?
