Thanks. So... did you find the item & delete it? If it is still checked
in MSConfig, Startup tab, uncheck it to get it into a minus key or one
of the other locations. Then, go hunt for it again where me 'n Terhune
said.

I seems to have a "free personal version" as well as one you may pay
for. I used Jouni Vuorio's RegCleaner once long ago-- after owning &
fearing it for a year! Nothing bad happened, though some keys did return
to my Registry on their own. But since then I nevertheless have sworn
never to do it again! Most MVPs will hunt you down if you do it twice!
