Key Combinations at Boot Up on NT4

[robertlewis]

I believe there is a key combination which prevents start up programs running when you boot into NT after logging in. I have a machine which boots OK but then freezes because a program has started and grabs 100% CPU.
Thanks

I seem to remember that there is a combination but I cannot remember it. Have you tried remotly editing the following keys
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServicesOnce
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce

to prevent the program from starting. Also do not forget the startup groups. have a look at the task manager and kill the process that is hurting the CPU.
