    For a while now whenever I start my pc and windows is loading, a prompt comes up that reads

    IMG Utility
    This is a Setup/Uninstall utility. Use Setup or Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel.

    I then hit the "ok" button to close that box. I did not want to interfere with anything in the Control Panel that I am unsure of and since I don't see anything with IMG in there, I left it alone but now it's becoming a task that I have to do when windows is loading and so wish to finally get rid of it, any ideas on how to proceed from here to take care of that please? Thanks.

    I think I may have made some progress but I need a little help [obviously], I just ran a search using the letters IMG and it came up with 504 entries so I then looked for all "Applications" under the File Type to see if I can narrow this down and I came across one that reads

    IMGCLEAN

    which is located in C:\Windows, the pic or small image that is on the left of those letters is an image of a small rectangular box that has a bigger Red circle
    around it with a Red slash across it, sort of like a "stop" sign with a slash across it. I right clicked on it to see what options I have and then chose "Open" and the exact same prompt when windows is loading appears so I am guessing this is it, problem is, I don't know what to do with it from here.

    It's description when I move my mouse over it says

    Description:Uninstall Utility
    Company:Innovation Management Group, Inc.

    So I then searched the net for this Company and found their link, went to it
    http://www.imgpresents.com/

    Judging by the date it was installed in my pc [8/9/2005]I am guessing that it was just some utility I may have experimented with once. So, what should I do from here? Simply Delete it?

    Ok, got it done, I used msconfig to locate the file then disabled it from startup, next used Regclean to clean out the Registry.
