Launch on Startup

I cannot remember what the "Run" command is to see the list of programs that are launched on startup where you can disable them if you so choose. Any chance someone knows what the command is?

Odd, the run command does not work, but I can go through the windows folders find it and run it there...ohwell. Now I just need to figure out how to get rid of this damned spyware program that continues to re-install itself everytime I boot up the computer.

It can be in two places.
One right click start menu, open programs, look for Run.
If it's not there, then probably it's in the registry.
Open up Regedit from Start menu / run.
Open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / software / microsoft / windows / current version
Look for the offending item in run or run once.

Or an easier method would be to install microsoft anti spyware...it seems better than Ad Aware..
