regedit
Things are being stored under the system registry that I don't want to be there, when you go under regedit; HKEY_Local_machine; software; microsoft; run. When I delete them off computers( everything but the anit-virus) there is no problem. All of a sudden on some of them, when I restart, they are back. I do know that something else is putting them back. How do I find what is putting it there??
Thanx

Do you have the system restore turned on? This is most likely what is doing it to you
Do all registry reair in safe mode. Make sure you are an administrator. Certain updates to XP as of late seem to have blocked registry editing ability.
What operating system you run? If you have Windows 200x or XP, try the settings in Start | Run | msconfig - they show you more about from where things can get started (f.ex. ini files).
Hope it helps.

Sometimes when you start such a program or tool by hand, it will install itself back into the run folders. You should have a closer look at those programs, sometimes you can turn such behaviour off in the program itself, for instance real player is such an idiot program. turn off all those options in the message center and it should be OK. It'll complain when you do that, but do it.

I did have the system restore off, first thing. I will try you suggestions.

ok, I tried the msconfig under start and run. I thought it was going to help because some of the same things were under there. However, it didn't work. When I restarted, they appeared both back under regedit and msconfig. Something else is putting them there.

I responded with available options that I use daily for the same issue and they are proven. He never made another comment so I guess it would be the administrator/moderator's recommendation for an answer.
