Hi I can't stop this MS calender reminder from rewriting itself to the startup file in msconfig. I untick it, reboot, and it's back. Had a look on google but couldn't find anything and MS support no dice either. I opened up the calender but no option to remove or disable. I want to stop it running because it's never used and I think maybe it's just using resources. When I try deleting it I get a box saying it's in use so cannot be deleted.

Any help would be appreciatted. :D

283878 2004-10-23 09:12:00 You will probally just need to remove the entry from the Registry. metla (154)
283879 2004-10-23 09:15:00 OK thanks so do I just go into the registry and find it and delete it?

I'll have look right now. :O Bit wary of the registry. :D

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run
HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Cur rentVersion\Run.

Navigate to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run

Delete the offending code.

283884 2004-10-23 10:46:00 Er I mean by "couldn't find it" that it wasn't where you suggested.

No that, say, I couldn't find the registry. cheers :)
