I installed a piece of freeware called Post-It a few months ago,I decided it was not something I would use so I uninstalled it via ADD/REMOVE and I just noticed when I open MSCONFIG and click on the start tab that this item is still listed ? I have it set to not startup when Windows does ,however I've performed a full H.D. search and there is no traces of this app. on my drive except for the item still listed in MSCONFIG ? Can someone give me the registry key where items listed in this utility startup section are so I can delete it from still showing up ? Thank You ,Nick "I rather be hated for who Iam then loved for who Iam not" Author Unkown

Nick, The keys you want to check are: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServicesOnce HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce You could also download Startup Control Panel which is Free at the link below. http://www.mlin.net/StartupCPL.shtml Tufenuf

Hi Tufenuf, I want to thank you for the information and the link you provided ,you time and help is greatly appreciated ! Take Care, Nick "I rather be hated for who Iam then loved for who Iam not" Author Unkown

Run a registry cleaner. Many freeware programs do not uninstall cleanly. The one you had is an example. CCleaner's registry module should cleanup the orphan entries.

Here's another place to check: HKLM\software\microsoft\sharedtools\msconfig\startupreg

I want to thank all that replied ! I have looked in the possible places all of you have pointed out to me and even though many of the items listed in msconfig are present the Post-It entry does not appear in any of these locations ? I guess I will have to learn to live with it. I run CCleaners Registry tool all the time and I've yet to have it list this Post-it app ! Its one stubborn entry in MSCONFIG !

I was able to remove the poit-it listed in MSCONFIG start tab by using the CCleaner tools ! Thanks Again, Nick "I rather be hated for who Iam then loved for who Iam not" Author Unkown
