Default o/t computer question, The last 3 times I started my computer...

I get an error window that says:

"Exshell has caused an error. Exshell will now close."

What does Exshell have to do with and how can I fix this?

or maybe you are an @home user? I believe it is also part of their software excite@home.

If so you should be able to remove and reinstall their software to fix it.

Default There's 2 places it could be starting up...

...In your StartUp group on the Start Menu or in your registry under the Run key. Removing it from your StartUp group is easy, but if it's in your Run key, it's a little more difficult unless you are familiar with the registry.

If you are familiar with the registry, and feel safe editing it, the Run keys are in HKEY_CURRENT_USER or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE in Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run. You're better off checking for an uninstall program in Add/Remove Programs first though. Edit the Registry as a last resort.

Default Re: run regedit, find all instances of keys and delete them

Also check your startup folder under Programs and the Run= key in the registry under Software/Microsoft
