I can't remember the exact location however, but search for a string like run-always, or run-once and you should find something to delete which probably won't hose up your registry too much. If it is on Win9x, it could also be hidden in the c:\autoexec.bat file or wininit.ini or somewhere else Of course the best place to have this question answered is in the website you referenced in your subject title. http://www.annoyances.org -- Alex Linux 2.4.16 #1 Thu Nov 29 05:52:59 EST 2001 i686 8:50pm up 22:05, 2 users, load average: 0.50, 0.25, 0.09
