look for the identifier key. be sure its there be sure the is only on identifier ket and the data field has the right mouse type. double ckick to chage it.

Which start-up folders have you checked???
There are the Default User and All Users profiles which have Start Menu folders. If you are an administrator the Admin profile has a Start Menu folder as will your own personal profile.
Also check the services (from Control Panel) and see if anything is started there.
If the drivers are older, an INI file such as win.ini or winfile.ini can start programs, load the INI files into Notepad and check them (edit & save if necessary).
If you know the name of the executable that starts the properties box, do a FIND on the file name and see where any shortcuts exist (if one exists in a Start folder that may be your culprit).
WARNING USE FOLLOWING WITH CARE AND AT YOUR OWN RISK ..
Run regedit and run FIND to look for the executable that starts the properties box .. if you don't know the executable look for mouse as a possibility. You need to have some knowledge here as to what the various keys apply to and whether they are starting the propertybox up. However some of the paths in the registry might give you a hint where to find your problem startup.
