Needs to edit out start up items..

Run REGEDIT.EXE at the Start\Run-Command Line. Navigate to this key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

There are several other "Run" (RunOnce, Run Services, etc.) keys in the same area. Make sure that there is no reference to the file you wish to remove in any of them.

To be sure of the file removal, you should also look in these keys:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft|Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

Once the file is deleted from these keys, after a reboot, you should no longer see it listed.

Note: If you are worried about damaging the Registry, you can always highlight any key before you edit it, and choose to export the entire branch. This option is available from the Registry Editor Toolbar in one of the drop-down menu's. Give the key a name, and save it somewhere safe. Later, if it appears that the changes caused a problem, double-click the exported key, and it will reinstall back into the Registry, completely intact, just as it was.

Exporting a key will not remove it from the Registry. This is only a copy.
