Startup Programs

[Sherman Smith]

I had a popupstopper trial version program which I
installed a while back. Although I uninstalled the
program, every time I log on, it keeps popping up saying
that the trial version is over. How can I get rid of this
program.

Also I made a batch file to execute during start up. I
took it out of the startup folder but it keeps coming up
and slowing my system down. How can I keep it from
starting?

Natively you can; Start\Settings\Control Panel\Administrative Tools\Computer
Management(Local)\System Information\Software Environment\Startup
Programs|View|Advanced, then in the "Location" column, you'll find the path
to the "Startup" location either in the "Startup" directories or from the
registry's "Run" keys.

%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
%USERPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

You can delete the shortcuts that you no longer want to run.


HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

You can delete the string value for the program you no longer want to run.

or copy msconfig from Windows XP
