The unremovable startup program :)

Hi all,

I have a rather annoying problem with a perticular program that keeps running at startup

The program itself has the option to "run at startup", but it keeps enabling itself again ...

So I thought I'd just manually remove it entirely from any place causing it to run at start. Problem is: it's nowhere to be found. No entry in MSCONFIG, no link in the startup folder, no task in task scheduler, ...

Does anyone have an idea on how to proceed ?

Do you have "Autoruns" installed on your system? If not, I would suggest using it to find the startup location;

Autoruns for Windows

Actually, I do haha, forgot all about it

Autoruns was indeed able to locate it for me. Apparently it waspresent as a link in some obscure part of my hard drive, in a startup folder yet not showing in the start menu. Hence the confusion on my part ...

SOLVED !

Damn, cheered too soon ... it's there again and this time no mention of it in Autoruns ...

Put msconfig in the Search or Run box [if you have it] on the Start menu then in the Startup section uncheck it if present.
