I've got the world's most ugly ass icon popping up everytime I turn on my computer.

There is an option that appears with it to turn it off, "never show this message again" but, I could never shut it up. So, here is the registry key that dictates startup items. If you feel uneasy editing the registry directly, that's fine, leave it. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run There are four more keys that follow this one, each one starts with "run", that also call up startup items.
