-- On SYS CONFIG UTIL under tab Startup, there is a Startup Item with no
NAME and no Command. The location is,
"HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run.
Unchecked BOX, RESTARTed computer and the following message was received on
restart. Is this NORMAL? If not what can I do to ID the item with no name?


Click to select the Don't show this message or launch the System
Configuration Utility when Windows start check box, and then click OK: You
have used the System Configuration Utility to make changes to the way Windows
starts.

The System Configuration Utility is currently in Diagnostic or Selective
Startup mode, causing this message to be displayed and the utility to run
every time Windows starts.

Choose the Normal Startup mode on the General tab to start Windows normally
and undo the changes you made using the System Configuration Utility.

Entirely normal.

You can re-enable it, and use the location listed in msconfig to locate and
delete the real reference in the registry.

That message is entirely normal. You can choose to disable the message, or
you can delete the item you disabled and set msconfig back to normal mode.
