[BC] the registry

Mon Dec 12 11:40:00 CST 2005

Do a Google for a small utility called startup.cpl that installs in the
windows control panel.  It's free.

It will look at all of the "run" keys as well as let you edit the keys.  You
can also do a non-destructive edit if you think something might be hosing
stuff up, but you not sure.

Jeff is right.  If you want to see what may be running on startup directly
from the registry, run regedit and go to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER---SOFTWARE----MICROSOFT---WINDOWS---CurrentVersion and
check the Run and RunOnce keys.  Before you make any changes, back up the
registry from the File--Export function of regedit.

  Hope that helps.

The major 'gotcha' with the registry, is that changes are made instantly.

Much of it is decipherable mainly to those familiar with the minutiae of the
particular apps they program or the gearheads at M'soft.

It is a rather gigantic database of everything the computer needs to know
about itself. It is stored in *.dat files.

A couple of areas to get to know are 'run' keys and the Winlogon page. 
There is more than one 'run' key - one for each user and the 'local
machine'. If unwanted apps or services are starting on boot, they may appear
in one of these 'run' keys if not found in any of the 'Startup' 
directories in the file system.

Interesting stuff.

HOW much was that bridge, again?

Seriously, my idea/suggestion of having only the 50Kw Clears remaining (and
even a few new ones created on newly-vacated freqs) is not just for the
benefit of the small, but passionate, DX community. It is for the public at
large.
When the AM band is cleared of the majority of smaller signals (many of whom
end up carrying the same syndicated stuff off the bird, anyway) it will be a
place for the long-range stations to have vast nighttime service areas.

All of the smaller stations, DA's, Daytimers, etc, would be migrated to the
new FM band on the to-be-vacated TV channels 5&6. Those stations would then
be able to serve their local communities with FM quality signals, 24/7. I'm
sure that most AM's would jump at the opportunity to go FM, especially the
Daytimers & those with low night power.

The brand-new 50Kw AM allocations that would then be created, could
certainly fetch some hefty prices as the FCC auctions them off. (That should
get the politicians salivating.)
