for the first one.....ashlt.exe.

Search for ashlt.exe in your registry and delete.

 

for the first one.....ashlt.exe.

Search for all instances ashlt.exe in your registry and delete.
Search for the rest accordingly and delete.

 

i thought there might be one place windows kept them all. i know how to search thru the reg and all. thanks

Use this. I use it all the time for cleaning out junk manually. It's a great program, free, and it's clean, doesn't come bundled with more crap.

 

Startup Control Panel > msconfig

 

thanks smart guy, where do you think i got my screen shot from?

im not computer retarded by any means. usually im one of the people answering the questions people post. i just wasnt sure of any place that had a list of the startup programs in the config utility.

 

what he posted actually does the job quite well. just have to reenable everything in msconfig, open that little utility and delete the stuff you dont want.

 

msconfig

He posted something diffrent... as did I.

I don't know where in the registry it is located... but the app I posted, Starter, will take you right to it.
