Hi,
I installed Nokia PC Suite on my home computer but have since uninstalled it again however after I uninstalled the program and restarted the system seemed to be slow on startup. When i checked the startup items in msconfig there was a Nokia entry still there even though I had uninstalled the program. I disabled it and this fixed the problem but I was just wondering if there was anyway of removing it completely as I had to disable some Windows XP system utility to keep my msconfig that way? Many thanks.

Run Regedit and go the the following:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

Delete the item from there.
