JSI Tip 0016 - WinNT runs an unknown job when you login.

If you can't find it in the startup group, check:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows
load REG_SZ and/or run REG_SZ
Remove the offending value.

Here are other places where a program can be loaded at startup in NT:

- In the Startup folder for the current user and all users.
- In the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServicesOnce
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServicesOnce

NOTE: Check the Win.ini file.
