oXide,
You might want to try Startup Control Panel (at http://www.mlin.net/StartupCPL.shtml). It's an excellent freeware utility that gives you control over all non-service startup processes, wherever their location. Easier than looking through all of the possible startup locations in the registry, listed below:
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
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServicesOnce
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows, the "run" and
Load" keys.
PLUS all of the startup folders. Sheesh!
Anyway, Mike Lin's nifty little utility lets you choose to enable / disable / temporarily delete / permanently delete any startup item from any of these locations.
Regards,
Jim
