I have a question about Identifying 
the programs that Windows runs at boot:


After the Windows Loading screen (the black screen with the windows logo and the 
progress bar) I recieve a message on a blue screen that says "Aborted." and nothing 
else. The screen is not the BSOD.  It resembles the screen you get when you run chkdsk 
at next boot.  After this the screen goes black for a second.  Then the Welcome screen 
comes on and windows finishes loading normally.  No other performance issues or problems 
are noticable.

I would like to know what is being aborted and how I can stop this message from appearing. 
  

So far I havn't been able to find any help online even from microsoft's Knowledge 
Base.  I have used my "System Mechanic 6" to check the start up programs.  I looked 
in the Startup Folder, all the "run" keys in the registry as mentioned in the article, 
scheduled tasks, msconfig, and all my other programs that can be set to run at startup. 
(maybe i missed something?)  I can't find anything.

I suspect that somewhere in the system a process, program, or system utility may 
have been enabled at every boot with a blank or corrupt entry, or had been set to 
run only if certain parameters are met (sort of like some defrag programs can be 
set to only defrag at a certain amount of framentation).
