So now whenever I reboot my system this annoying windows always comes up. What do I do?? Its irritating me. Please help its really annoying.

do just the basic things..

>> run > msconfig > startup > remove al the unneccesary items'

>> run > %temp% .. delete everything there

>> clear ur temp internet files,history,cookies

> run adaware and spybot to check for spywares

but i think its something related to a new s/w u must have installed recently!

You can simply remove the entry from the start up folder.
Just check the startup folder in start meu->Programs
Delete the entry corresponding with the one above.
OR

Go to Run->Type Msconfig.exe->Click on Startup Tab-> Remove the entry

OR

Go to Run->Type Regedit->Go to the following keys( either one will contain the entry):

1.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
2.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce

3. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices
4.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServicesOnce
5. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
6. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce

There, you'll find a subkey for each of the items loaded at startup.
Remove the entry corresponding to the one above.

OR

If that file and associated program is really required, then:


One such (legal) software is PTFB (Push The Freakin' Button), which, although doesn't actually eliminate those annoying software messages, will do the task of clicking or closing the box for you- The result? You can set it to close the boxes so fast (as soon as they come up) that you barely even notice them.

Another alternative is to make your own AutoHotKey script which would automatically close any popup you want:

Code:
; Popup Blocker - save as, for eg, NoPopup.ahk

SetTitleMatchMode, 2

Loop
{
   IfWinExist, enter-the-title-of-the-window-you-want-to-block
      WinClose

Sleep, 100
}

Put the .ahk file in the startup and there you go- However, it may happen that WB could load well before the script loads, which would defeat the whole purpose. You may however, remove WB's entry from the startup and make the script launch WB instead, like this:
Run, C:\Program Files\Stardock\Object Desktop\WindowBlinds\wbload.exe,
C:\Program Files\Stardock\Object Desktop\WindowBlinds

PS: Its always better to disable entries than to totally delete them as they can be used to restore the program entries incase an error occurs.
