Re: Unwanted folder

 

Check these Registry keys for entries with paths that contain spaces, but have no quotes.

 

(Open the Run box and enter: regedit)

 

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]

 

Example:

C:\Program Files\program path\app.exe

 

Change to:

"C:\Program Files\program path\app.exe"

 

 

ju.c

RE: Unwanted folder

 

Check your folder options:

In Windows Explorer, click Tools menu > Folder Options > View tab > Advanced

settings, uncheck "Restore previous windows at logon if it is checked".

Re: Unwanted folder

 

From Dougknox http://www.dougknox.com/index.html Win XP Utilities, download

Startup Programs Tracker. This utility will generate a log file that you can

copy and paste into a reply messsage. Run the tool and post the info under:

 

-- Registry --

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

 

-- Registry --

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

 

Generally, the Running Processes and the Services sections aren't necessary.

Re: Unwanted folder

 

Knowing the complete path, will better allow you to find its remnants and

uninstall. Here is another option:

 

For a detailed list of all installed software:

http://www.belarc.com/Download.html

 

In the Software Versions section you'll see all of your installed software.

At the end of each entry is a clickable asterisk that will take you to the

folder the software is installed in.
