MS Config\Startup items

[Guest]

Hi
In Ms Config>startup window, I have an entry under Startup Items with a
number of squares in a row and also in the Command line. The location of this
is ""software\microsoft\windows\current version\windows

Has anyone got any idea as to what this is. I can't find it in the registry.

Also in the same window, I want to get rid of a couple of other entries such
as "snoopfreeui" which is proving a problem to eradicate. I have uninstalled
the programme as I should but the entry still seems to be there and ticked.
When I untick it and come out of Startup and then go back in again the items
is again ticked.

How do I delete these sort of items from the startup screen.

Any help would be appreciated

Regards
