A. This is caused by an incorrect program call at startup,search the areas a program can be started from for an incorrect entry, theseare listed at An Application keeps starting every time I start NT.
One example is as follows:
Start the Registry Editor (regedit.exe).
Open this registry keyHKEY_CURRENT_USERSOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRun andHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRun
Verify that all the values in these keys do not contain any incorrect,incomplete, or null entries (such as "").
If the (Default) Name variable has a value of "" (an emptystring), delete the Name variable. After the deletion, the value for (Default)should be "(value not set)".
This should resolve the problem. Obviously the above is only one possiblecause and so all entries should be checked.
