VIA Raid dir opening on startup

[adz]

Check the following registry keys:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

and;

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

And check:

%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\%username%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

or;

%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup


See how you go with those.

Thanks for that.

I checked all parts of the Start Menu (including the default and all users) and there was nothing there.

Just checked those points in the registry and there's no mention of the RAID dir except for loading the raid_tool.

Anymore ideas?

Export the contents on the RAID tool key and then delete it, see what happens.

HijackThis is a brilliant tool, however I never thought of using it to troubleshoot something like this. I assume that you could have simply removed;

"O4 - Global Startup: VIA RAID TOOL.lnk = C:\Program Files\VIA\RAID\raid_tool.exe"

and that would have done it, oh well, main thing is that its fixed and we have all learnt something new :-)

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [DisplayTrayIcon] C:\WINDOWS\System32\TrayIcon.exe

don't know what that is. . . .

I remember from the days of 98 that was the display settings icon that appeared in the system tray, didn't even know it was present in XP, must have been added by nVidia. Either way you don't need it.
