Registry Possibly Related Thing

My brother in law bought a brand new computer complete with Windows XP service pack 2 and all the software bundled with it possible.

He needed internet access and sought help from me.
Easy enought with Freewire.co.uk, I had it set up for him.

One thing kept disturbing me though.
Supanet was installed and I can't get rid of it from appearing in the desktop requesting you to register for internet access.
They are not in the add/ remove programs section and a search and remove to recycle bin failed to clear it from appearing whenever by B in law logs in.

Too scared to go registry, I thought people here should know how to get rid of this nuisance safely otherwise my B in law would have to keep checking that he'd register later.
If I ask a question, it's because I am in doubt, etc, etc, etc...

    Hey dood

    I would think that it was in the registry

    HKCU/software/Microsoft/windows/currentversion/

    or

    HKLM/software/Microsoft/windows/currentversion/

    It is probably in 'run' or 'runonce' and wont go away until it is completed. Deleting it from there should solve the issue.
    Drop us a reply if it does not stand out as obvious to you.

    If its annoying you on startup...Just enter msconfig at the command prompt in windows. Next click startup and locate that particular program and disable it. Just read carefully and you should be fine.

    Not so obvious Russ.
    Is that run or something?

    Man I need to get all these responses printed out.

    There will probably be under HKLU

    Run
    RunOnce

    under HLKM
    Run
    RunOnce
    RunServices

    And possibly a few others.

    List the ones that you do not know and someone can tell you what they are.
