Application trying to open each time administrator logs in
I have a new client that is running a 2008 R2 server. Everytime the administrator account logs in, the profile wants to open some form of an application or file.
I have checked the startup folder-nothing there. I have checked these areas in the registry and that are no unknown applications set to run.
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Wi
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Wi
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Wi
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Wi
Where am I missing?

"HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run"
"HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\Run"
"HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\Run"
"HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\WinLogon"
"HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\WinLogon"
"HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows"
"HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows"
"HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main"
"HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options""%ProgramData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup"

Thank you and I hope all is well now.
also, open the application (that starts with admin account), and in its options, check where it mentioned open at startup or something like this, and disable it / remove the tick.
