Preventing a program from running at startup

Hi everyone,

I've installed mcalc (a calculator) on my X51v but am not satisfied with it. I tried the Remove program feature, but it did not work. I deleted manually the folder where the program is but now I get a message after a soft reboot stating that mcalc.exe cannot be opened. Is there a way to prevent WM5 from launching a program at startup?

I do have a registry editor, but I could not find mcalc in it. Any ideas? Is there a key where all startup programs are listed?

Thanks a thousand times.

Gilles

Removing that specific shortcut from \Windows\StartUp should do it.

Thanks, that was easy enough. I wonder why I didn't think of it!

Thanks again,
