Gee, just run into this one myself - is there really no way to remove a startup entry that is not an existing/installed program?
i.e. I've got the spotify thing sitting there, even though I've never used this garbage, nor I intend to.
================ Ultra Virus Killer Scan Log File ================
Startup entries:
Format: Mode | Name | Destination file | Description | MD5 hash | File signature
<@Chris\Run> | Spotify | C:\Users\Chris\AppData\Roaming\Spotify\Spotify.exe | Spotify | 51716DC2433BEE0465B267B7C74269CA | Signed : Spotify AB
======================= End of the startup entries list. ========================
Note: Deleting the Autorun entry broke the Spotify uninstall command.
Solution:
Delete C:\Users\Usernam\AppData\Roaming\Spotify folder then reinstall Spotify.
The uninstaller will then run correctly.
Thanks but...
1) I've no spotify entry in the registry at
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
2) I've no such folder:
C:\Users\Usernam\AppData\Roaming\Spotify folder
I've never had this program installed, and I don't want it to be, either.
So it's quite baffling what the hell it's doing in the startup items - an orphaned entry is what it looks like. But how do you delete it when the delete is grayed out by windows in its infinite wisdom?
