Windows start up pest

[unstresst]

..In the process of cleaning out spyware I was cliking around 'spybot' and now when Windows starts up I have a page comes up with "Windows System Information"
.....looked everywhere I knew and couldn't find anywhere to remove it from start up.
........anybody got an Idea ??

Does it come up as your home page ?.

If so just change it back to your old home page.

....it comes up in it's own style box....not web page style.

Go to Start > Run and type in MSCONFIG and click ok.
Click the StartUP tab and see if it's listed there, if it is, uncheck it and reboot.

....I'm not seeing "Windows System Information"
in that list.
-----------------
..Speaking of start up list......There is an ugly item listed there
......it's un-checed, but is there a way to erase it from the list totaly??

OK, try Start > Settings > Control Panel and double click Scheduled Tasks, is it listed there?

...don't even have "scheduled tasks" on control panel.
have a shortcut at bottom of screen-[system tray] that points to "task scheduler", and that has nothing relating to start up included.

Post a screen shot of what comes up at startup. That will give a clearer idea if whats happening.

Send me a Private Message and give me your e-mail address. I will send you a small application that will give you a list of all the programs that get executed on startup. You can delete whatever you don't want and later on can restore if deletion creates any bigger problems.
