I didn't have those keys in Registry. After doing some google search I
found a post that told me to delete autorun.inf file from root of D
drive and reboot. Fortunately that worked out perfect.

I found following in autorun.inf.

[autorun]
OPEN=setupSNK.exe
ICON=\SMRTNTKY\fcw.ico
ACTION=Wireless Network Setup Wizard

Just delete the file totally and reboot was fix.

Thanks for the help,
Sam
