zoom window runs when user logs in.

[SpreadTooThin]

Lately a zoom window appears when ever a user logs into the computer.
I can get rid of the window by the task manager, but I'm unable to
find where the program was launched from.
My initial thought was that it was in accesability somewhere but I
can't find it...
I checked that startup items and the registry but no luck.

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. (note that this window is read-only so you must
manually navigate to the location below to edit or otherwise delete)

%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 to the "windows" directory or AutoRuns for
Windows from Windows Sysinternals
