Someone/thing Deleted My Start-up keys

[Michael (alan1998)]

Hello, Not worried about Malware. I suspect I was goofing off in the reg and accidentaly deleted my start-up keys.

The only one I really worried about is Skype start up key in this path. Can anyone find the key and the type (Qword, Binary, DWORD, etc)

HKEY_Current_User > Software > Microsoft > Windows > Current Version > Run (Note not RunOnce).

I can't find the stupid key. Any help would be awesome. And No, I won't contact skype they don't answer particularly fast for me

Also, how do I schedule Avast! Quick Scans

1. Surely is you manually start Skype and open its settings you can set to start on boot, hopefully that would reinstate the startup entry. I don't use Skype so I can't offer any practical help on the product/settings.

You could also try using the msconfig command open the Startup tab and create a new entry for Skype.

2. Just select the Quick scan, avastUI >  Scan - Quick Scan from the list, now click on the Settings... > Scheduling.

You're welcome.

Did you try changing the Skype program settings that I mentioned first ?
