Script to Toggle User's Startup Programs - Issues w/ ControlListView

[KongMD]

Hi, everyone. The purpose of my script is to disable all non-Microsoft services and startup programs so that my other installer script can run cleanly during it's required two reboots. The main program is an antivirus program that I'll be installing on a wide variety of student machines (not imaged). If the user has Selective Startup chosen already and has cherry-picked which services and startup programs he/she wants running, I want to save the list of those enabled programs to an .ini file (I'll write that part later) so that they can be re-enabled after the installation.

For now, I'm having issues with ControlListView. Specifically, I'm having difficulties accessing the actual list inside of MSConfig so that I can save the enabled entries. I've tried compiling the script as x86 and as x64, so I don't think that's the problem. When I try to put in the "SelectAll" command before using "GetSelect" and run the program, I get two of the following modal windows from MSConfig:

"The following startup items were turned off during the upgrade from your previous installation. To turn an item back on ..."

Navigating to the General tab reveals that it has selected Diagnostic Startup. Needless to say, I'm a bit perplexed by this strange behavior. AU3Check says all is well, except for 2 function calls "possibly used before declaration.", which isn't actually the case. I've implemented several solutions from other threads related to the issue with no success, and have also tried different types of the ControlIDs available. How do I get an array of the enabled entries?

Addendum: I will share the fully working script with the forum when it's complete!

Sidenote: I know the Sleep(50) is bad programming style, but I just want to get it working before I clean it up/optimize.

How do I get the state of a SysListView32 control? This is the incorrect syntax that I currently have:

$listview = "SysListView321"
$itemState = BitAnd(GUICtrlRead($listview[$i]),$GUI_CHECKED)
