osa9.exe ?

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

It depends on where its loaded from.

Start Menu: Right click the Start button and select Explore and Explore All Users. Locate the shortcut (usually in Start Menu, Programs, Start Menu, Startup) and remove it.

For the Registry:

Click Start, Run and enter REGEDIT Go to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

And

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

Locate the entry, in the right pane, that's loading OSA9.EXE. Right click it and select Delete.

If the item is unchecked in MSCONFIG, then in Regedit, look in:

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

For the subkey that contains the settings for the disabled program and delete the subkey.
