Strange Window is appearing on Startup

    Temp files cleanup may have gotten rid of the file and hence it's listing in msconfig.

    Manually delete the Temp files under all Users' appdata.

    Have you achieved a Clean Boot yet following the steps I gave earlier to uncheck everything in Startup except AV and gadgets? The rest are freeloaders on your RAM, CPU, Startup and can spy on you and cause problems.

    When you hide MS services, is anything now showing in msconfig>Services? If so turn it off in Program Prefs. Check back to see nothing sneaks back in either list..

    IŽd suggest you to use super anti spyware and run a full system check in safe mode. Then reboot try this fix as explained in this link.Then reboot again. File Association Fixes for Windows 7 - The Winhelponline Blog

    The fact that items remains in msconfig after disabling them is normal, what is unusual is that it changed names. However, if it doesn't get re-enabled somehow (re-checked), then it shouldn't be a factor. Still, if it bugs you, I think that you could use StartupCPL, as I mentioned back in post 15 to remove it altogether.

    Look in 'services', type services.misc in the start search box. If you see anything that might be related, right click ... choose properties, make sure it's disabled, and find the full path to delete it. You will see the full path in that same window.

    StartupCPL doesn't install properly on my computer. The installer gave some error. I don't think it was designed for windows 7 either, as it doesn't mention that it supports it. Any other similar applications?

    But i'm starting to think that the problem is resolved, since the popup no longer appears and the thing isn't rechecking itself in msconfig, and the path that it should be at in msconfig doesn't have the registry file in it like msconfig says it should. What do you guys think? Does that sound like evidence of a resolved problem?

    Startup Control Panel is compatible with all modern versions of Windows, including Windows 95, 98, 98SE, ME, NT 4.0, 2000, and XP
    Not for Win7, unless you can run it in XP "compatible" mode. (I haven't tried it)

    Hi Pan,

    Those HKCU are registry references. Can you browse to "C:Users\Stephen....."as per the second image you attached, and see if those files are in that location?

    BulletStorm is a first-person shooter game. Did you download this, or install it from a DVD/CD?

    Regards,

    After running another Full scan with updated Malwarebytes, then an AV scan with MS Security Essentials which has replaced AVG bloatware, I think you can stop worrying.

    Is it possible someone else who uses the computer downloaded the game? This is what occurred with another People Can Fly game here last week which had a similar Startup Reg Key and coincided with a major infection which Malwarebytes could only completely delete when when I killed the reg key.

    How is overall performance?

    I did what you said and yeah still nothing is appearing so I think the issue is fixed. I haven't really experienced anything that unusual since the issue has been "resovled", and I've done a lot to my computer over the last couple days. Regardless, I'll post back if anything serious happens. Thanks for all of the help everybody.
