Guest Bruce P Posted August 13, 2007 Posted August 13, 2007 Recently I updated some software (HP, Symantec) and in the end I now have a situation that upon start-up, the Windows Installer begins to attempt an installation of 'PhotoGallery'. I do not know what this is (maybe an HP program), but I do not wish to install this and have to cancel this each time I restart XP. Does anyone know where this instruction to begin a program installation resides? Is it in the Registry? A startup .BAT file? It is not in the Startup Program Group. I would like to delete this instruction from my startup routine. Can anyone help? Much appreciated. Bruce Pyle
