| 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.

| It's a registry setting.
Look in these two areas and delete the line that is related to the program:
Look in:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Mic
rosoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\
Run
and look in:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Mi
crosoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
\Run | |

| Do I need to go RUN then REGEDT or do I need to use the command prompt to do the above?
I have largely forgotten my pc basics. | |
