I'd say contact DELL support : P.

If you are unable to choose to disable the item from starting up via the
available menu options , you could try using the MSCONFIG utility , check the
services tab , click the hide all microsoft services , check if the offender
is hiding there.
If not start systematically checking the items on the startup tab.

Hope this helps. : )

Absolutely right, after creating your Recovery set on some Dell
PCs, the 1st thing to do is go to Add/Remove and do as Malke
said. I have a few other Dell add-ons I would get rid of as well.
