Open the registry editor and navigate to...
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run
Right click nwiz, select Delete and click YES to the Are you sure you want
to delete this value?prompt.

This will stop nwiz.exe from running at boot.

It doesn't matter what version Nvidia drivers you have, wait a minute, 5.11
is *old*. I have Version 61.77 drivers.

As I was saying, It doesn't matter what version Nvidia drivers you have, the
first things added are these registry entries...

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run
Value Name: NvCplDaemon
Value Type: REG_SZ
Value Data: RUNDLL32.EXE C:\WINDOWS\System32\NvCpl.dll,NvStartup

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run
Value Name: NvMediaCenter
Value Type: REG_SZ
Value Data:RUNDLL32.EXE C:\WINDOWS\System32\NvMcTray.dll,NvTaskbarInit

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

None of these have to start at boot, they can be accessed via Nvidia Nview
in the Control Panel.

There's also a bunch of crap that I removed from my context menu.

I will *never* buy anything made by NVIDIA ever again.
