Startup Item Enabled/Disabled
-
We know that Windows stores startup items in this registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
However, in Win 8, when you set a startup item to "Disabled" in Task Manager, the item still resides in that reg key even though it has been disabled. Does anyone know where Task Manager is changing the status of the startup item, whether in another key or perhaps a config file somewhere?
The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Check underneath [(HKLM/HKCU)\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StartupApproved\(Run/RunOnce etc.)] and corresponding entries under Wow6432Node. Seems like a binary entry of "02 00..." means that it's enabled. The disabled entries is a bit more in a disarray though.
