reboot helper

[robert grancher]

First of all, I am a computer illiterate. So my problem
may be a simple one to solve: Every time I start my
coomputer, the Yahoo Reboot Helper appears. This is no
great problem, mind you, but it is annoying as hell.
Please offer assistance if you can. Many thanks. Robert

Check your startup settings. An automatic application start can be
defined here:
- the WIN.INI, section [windows], entries "run=" and "load="
- the Registry keys
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\RunServices
- the folders
C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\ALL USERS\START MENU\PROGRAMS\STARTUP
C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\{username}\START MENU\PROGRAMS\STARTUP
Delete the entry for the Yahoo thing.
