Delete program from startup

Recommended Posts

After uninstalling a program from Win NT 4 server, it keeps looking for it at startup. There's nothing in the startup programs folder, nothing in the sysedit files that refers to this program. How do I get it out of startup?

 

Thanks

Maybe I misunderstand you but sysedit is not good enough, run regedit and search for references to the executable that is trying to start.

 

If you alaready checked the registry it could be that another (started) program is trying to start the deleted one. What program was it you deleted ? Some progs are components of others.

 

A excellent freeware called jv16 PowerTools gives you complete control over startup, just don't toy around with the other options if you are unsure what they do. Find it at http://www.jv16.org/

Look under these registry keys:

 

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx

 

 

theres also other places...but look here first
