tried putting amending Registry for OE: DWORD, PreventAutoRun/PreventRun=1 in
various places (specifically HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and HKEY_CURRENT_USER
\Software\Microsoft\Outlook Express (&5.0\Shared Settings)

doesn't work

Any help would be appreciated, although it doesn't stop me doing anything,
it is anoying to have to cancel it every time I boot up! (I don't use OE at
the moment)

Thanks,
 
You sure have a lot of needless crap starting at boot. You're wasting your
time trying to add registry entries to stop something from starting at boot.
To do that, you remove entries.

Outlook Express is msimn.exe. Microsoft Internet Mail And News, the real
name for Outlook Express.

One other item that can start OE, that I know of, is OELaunch.exe.

OELaunch.exe is part of OE-QuoteFix and opens OE & OEQuoteFix.exe.

Download, install and run the following program.

StartMan v1.3.96
http://www.pt.lu/comnet/desc/startman.html

[[StartMan is an extended 'msconfig' Startup Manager, designed to take
control of all those pesky programs and background services that load and
run at logon - most of which you probably don't need. As well as providing
the usual trouble-shooting options to enable or disable startups, StartMan
also permits the removal of startups.]]

With Windows XP Home, There are 13+ places that programs can start from and
they are executed in the following order:

Before Logon
1)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServicesOnce
2) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices

After Logon
3)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce\Setup
4) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce
5) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx
6) WIN.INI [Windows] Load
7) WIN.INI [Windows] Run
8) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
9) HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
10) C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
11) C:\Documents and Settings\Your Name Here\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
12) HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce
13) As a Scheduled Task set to run at startup.

Hope this helps. Let us know.
