Thanks for the replies, in MSconfig the entries have nothing listed
under "startup item" or "command", and read "hkcu\software\microsoft\
windows\current version\run. No other info to the right of "run".
Double clicking the divider has no effect. I went into regedit & looked
up the entries & determined what they are (I know, DUHHHH). Still like
to know what that utility was, though. Wasn't "hijack this" or spybot
sd, it was a 3rd party utility.

Thanks,

Dan
