Shane's advice will get rid of the key, but realsched is one of those annoying programs that just keep coming back. It'll just remake the key. Help is at hand! Mike Lin has written two tiny but excellent programs for just this kind of thing: StartupCPL and Startup Monitor. The first allows you to look at a list of everything that starts when windows starts and delete what you want. The second informs you when a program is trying to register something to start on windows startup, and will give you an 'allow or deny' option. Taken together, they will cure practically all your startup problems. His homepage, with free small downloads, is www.mlin.net Hope this helps, too...
