regedit opens at startup (WME)

[MBaliles]

I recently removed a virus from my system and now the registry editor opens when I start my computer. How can I persuade it to open only when I want it to?

MBaliles,

Check these startup locations:

go to Start>Run, type msconfig, click the startup tab and check here.

To permanently removed the unchecked entries, backup the registry and/or export the following keys:
go to Start>Run, type regedit. Navigate to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Run-
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run-
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\RunServices-

and delete the entry in the right pane.

Go to Start>Run, type notepad c:\windows\system.ini and check for programs loading here:
[windows]
load=
run=

Check the Start>Programs>Startup folder for shorcuts.
