I tried to install a new printer on my Dell D600 / XP pro laptop.
Unfortunately, while the software installed fine, the printer didn't
work. No biggie - I've got another printer. Uninstall software and
toss printer.
Except - the software left some remnants that want to keep looking on
the web for updates! This make for a very slow boot when I'm not
connected to the internet. Task Manager and msconfig identify these
processes, but how do I *safely* hunt them down and kill them where
they live (presumably in the registry)?
