I have a question about How do I stop a program from running whenever I start Windows?:

Although I uninstalled yahoo entirely, and it does not show in my programs, but keeps inserting itself , interfering with my msn hotmail, and will not be deleted. How do I get completely away from yahoo. permanently.

To remove values for the Run line in the registry for all users, follow these steps: Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK. Locate and then click the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run Click Export on the File menu. Save In: Desktop, type HKLMRun in the File name box, and then click Save. In the right pane of the Registry Editor window, right-click each value that you want to remove from startup except for the Default value, and then click Delete. Click Yes to confirm. exit registry editor, and restart the system,............if the issue is resolved delete HKLMRun from the desktop..............good luck. ..........................you may want to do the same for HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;316434
