Default Re: System Config Utility

nwiz.exe = NVIDIA nView Wizard

*Was* in this key on my machine.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run
Value Name: nwiz
Value Type: REG_SZ
Value Data: nwiz.exe /install

Open the Registry Editor...
Start | Run | Type: regedit | Click OK |
Hit your F3 key | Type or paste nwiz.exe in the Find what box |
Click the Find Next button | Hit F3 to Find Next again, etc.

There will be at least 3 or 4 other locations where nwiz.exe shows up in the
registry.

Hope this helps. Let us know.
