Hi Jack,

Look for it under this key in the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig\startupreg

Thanks Much To all who sent posts to help me. We have go it working right
for the moment. I honestly did not find the oriental file. I decided to
import an earlier backup that I had made of my registry and now the oriental
file is gone.
