Re: Spurious startup activity
Look for either sysdoc32.exe or acctmgr.exe
In the meantime: Click Start, Run and enter MSINFO32.EXE Go to Software
Environment, Startup Programs. The Command column will show you the exact
command line used. If you see one that uses a long file name/path with
spaces in it, and its not enclosed in quotes, you've found the culprit.
Added info: Disable Unnecessary Programs at Startup
Start/Run/Regedit. Right Click/Delete unnecessary programs listed here:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
AutoRuns - Shows what programs are configured to run during system boot up
or login. Includes items in startup folders, win.ini, and 14 registry keys.
