I am having trouble removing a program from the startup.
When I look at the programs that are supposed to execute on startup it is not listed. I have removed and reinstalled but that did not do the trick.
Is there a registry editor for the startup?
Suggestions anyone?

Use windows explorer and open up Documents and Settings, click on each user names and goto Start Menu\Programs\Startup. Remove the entry there.

You can run Regedit, goto HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Run

Export the key first, then remove the entry.

There are other Run keys below this one that you can look for the program too.

Good Luck

SYSINTERNALS has a utility, AUTORUNS, that will show you all things that comes up on boot. Works Great! Let's you jump right in the registry from there to edit it out if you want.
