I was installing WinFax Pro and had to shut down before completion. Upon bootup the next day the Winfax Pro install screen popped up again to continue on. Okay, I completed the install. However, now every bootup the install screen pops up again. I remember that there is some kind of installer-spooler entry that I can delete to stop this, but I have forgotten where it is. I did searches, tried MS database all to no avail. Does anyone remember where it is or how to stop the constant install screen?
