Loaded Startup Items

[dreamliner77]

May or may not be the right place for this thread. Let's see.

Running msconfig, there are two things I can't figure out. Can't find anything that identifies:
Startup Item: Load Shell Command: load shell.dll /c/set --by windows setup--

I've recently added samurize. Could this be it?

There is another entry that is just blank. No listing for startup item or command.

Hmmm, i did a quick search and it mentions it in a lot of spyware related threads. Run something like Adaware to check it out. I'm pretty sure it is

I googled and the only hits i got were from pacs-portal (2)

spybot- nothing
adaware- Nothing
hijack this- nothing

well it's off now

any ideas on the blank entry?

any ideas on the blank entry?

If the string is blank not just the name delete it.

well this thread on ad-ware forums mentioned it (from a hijacthis report) as doesn many other hijackthis threads around. but i just looked quickly..could be something else
