Yeah, I have done the obvious solutions, msconfig and checking the startup folder in the start menu, but i'll certainly try the HKLM solution as soon as I get home. Thanks for the quick response, btw.

If memory serves correctly - it's actually in a seperate key in the registry..I was thinking even WindowsNT instead...<br />
I'm not at work now, or else I'd be able to help you further - perhaps another expert will happen along that remembers...(darn this grey matter :(

This should be a simple one, but I'm at a loss to figure out how to do this. I ran sysprep on my machine just as a test, and do not wish to complete the process. Never-the-less, it continues to startup everytime I reboot my machine, and I'd like it to NOT startup. Boot's to XP just fine, loads ok, but comes up with the sysprep selection box on every boot. As I said, it was just a test run, and I don't need to complete it. Any ideas? I am sure it's just a simple reg edit or deleting an .inf file, just don't know which edit or file. TIA for your answer.<br />

Stop sysprep from running on boot

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.
