I can't get into my system startup programs
Can anyone help? About 3 weeks ago, I tried to change some of the startup
programs and was denied access. First off, I got tired of Windows Defender never catching any of the spyware or other stuff so I decided to go with AdAware and disable Windows Defender. Now, I can't enable Windows Defender and when I try to get into my Startup programs I get this error message: Windows Defender: Application failed to initialize: 0x80070002. I tried to create a restore point to last month to see if that would help, but of course I can't do that. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? Just for the record, I HATE Windows Vista! If I still had Windows XP, I could have created a restore point to last month that probably would have fixed this problem.

It probably has something to do with Defender now being the interface in
Vista (via ToolsSoftware Explorer) to Start-up programs, giving you the ability to enable/disable/remove them without using the msconfig utlity. It is shipped with Vista which probably shouldn't be taken out. I would try to reinstall it from the web, then turn off the real time protection if you really don't want it. But it is so unobtrusive now that you don't really need to turn it off. And it will flag any serious threats, even stopping you from inadvertantly downloading one.

I apologize for ranting about Vista everyone, I just got a little frustrated.
Thanks, Gregrocker for your reply. I'll try to see if I can download it and make the changes you suggested. "columbianna" wrote: Can anyone help?

Go to StartProgramsAccessoriesRunType in: msconfig
In there, go to your startup. Take out what you want to disable, and make it a selective startup. when you reboot, go into control Panel , and change how security notifies you.
