SYMPTOMS
When you view the entries listed on the Startup tab of the Microsoft System Configuration Utility tool, you might notice that not all of these entries are located in the Startup folder.



CAUSE
This behavior can occur because the entries listed on the Startup tab are compiled from two sources, the Startup folder and the registry. There are seven (six, if the initial Welcome screen is disabled) entries on the Startup tab by default. All of these registry entries are added by Windows 98 Setup. Any additional entries are either added to the registry or to the Startup folder when you install programs.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.



MORE INFORMATION
The following list shows the default programs and their associated registry keys:

  TaskMonitor        C:\Windows\Taskmon.exe SystemTray        SysTray.Exe ScanRegistry      C:\Windows\Scanregw.exe /Autorun Welcome           C:\Windows\Welcome.exe /R LoadPowerProfile  Rundll32.exe Powrprof.dll,LoadCurrentPwrScheme

  LoadPowerProfile   Rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,LoadCurrentPwrScheme SchedulingAgent   C:\Windows\System\Mstask.exe

NOTE: LoadPowerProfile appears identically in both registry keys and on the Startup tab.
