I have two new items that appear to be running under my start-up tab.

Under startup item and command the name's appear on as 5 squares ????

The location for one is:

hkcu\software\microsoft\windows nt\current version\windows:run

and

hkcu\software\microsoft\windows nt\current version\windows:load

Does anyone know what this is or how to get rid of it ?????

Thanks in advance, Bob
