Ok so it is your note pad for sure. Umm ok first try this for me.

THis may be in the registry so ...
To see which ones are in the Registry, go to Start > Run, then type in regedit.exe to enter the Registry.
Don't alter just anything in the Registry!!!!! Changes to the Registry are irreversible and could cause serious damage to your PC.

If it is found then you can delete it by doing this. Now you can use Windows' System Configuration Utility to trim the fat from the Registry Run keys and the Startup group.


1.To start the utility, select Start > Run, then type msconfig.
2. Select the Startup tab to show a list of items executed during bootup.
3. To see the entire Command column, stretch it to the right. A scroll bar should now appear at the bottom of the window, enabling you to view more of the Location information.
4. Scroll down the list to see if you recognize anything that shouldn't be there. If so, all you have to do is clear its check box to remove the appropriate Registry command line or Startup group shortcut.


Tip
The items you remove from the Windows System Configuration Utility aren't lost; they've just moved to a startupreg or startupfolder key in the Registry. You can retrieve them later if it turns out you shouldn't have removed them. To restore an item to the bootup routine, simply run the utility again and recheck the item's box.

Let me know thanks...
