    Does the current version of Sysinternals Autoruns allow one to disable rather than delete a program? I read a review from a couple of years ago saying there was only a delete option.

    Unchecking the box disables the entry - safest for troubleshooting, if it's not the correct fix, just re-check the box and reboot.

    Right-click the entry and select Delete - that will remove the entry completely. On reboot, you could then manually remove/rename the 'bad' driver or file safely, as it's no longer loaded.

    (It's been like that for a looong time.)
