Removing uninstalled programs from startup...

I have removed some old programs and they were left in the the startup tab of msconfig, with their boxes unchecked. I used regidit/Run to remove 2 of them, but can't find the third. All of the startup programs were not listed in the Run tab. Is there another place I can look?

There are two run folders in the Reg. One in Local Machine and one in Current User

If you are using Windows 9x, there is also runservices. Download Hijack This. It will remove the registry key.

Startup folder would be the only other place I can think of

(Start/Programs/Startup)
