Don,
Well, we're getting into uncharted territory now. We've explored the obvious
possibilities, so now let's look for new, unobvious ones. We'll start with
Autoruns, which is a simple analytic.

# Start a new message, and reply to this post. Don't Send just yet.
# Make a new folder, say "C:\Utility" is what I use.
# Download Autoruns, unzip all components and copy to C:\Utility.
# Open C:\Utility from Windows Explorer, find "autoruns.exe" and double click on
it.
# When Autoruns starts, check under User and ensure that the name of the user
which you are running under, when you are having your problems, is checked.
# Let Autoruns finish scanning.
# Do File - Save As, and save the scan as file type Autoruns Data (txt),
whatever name you wish. Remember where the file gets saved.
# Start Notepad from Accessories, and Open the file you just saved.
# With this big text file open in front of you, place the cursor in the middle
of it all, to position it.
# Hit Ctrl-A (to Select All), then Ctrl-C (to Copy).
# Come back to your new post here, and Paste into your message.
# Now Send your message.
I'll take a look at the Autoruns file, and see what clues we can see.
