I'm running Win98 SE. I installed Adobe Acrobat 5.0 but unchecked the
Acrobat Assistant (C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 1.0\Distillr\Acrotray.exe)
from the startup group. It was unchecked on the msconfig startup tab.
However, the filepath in the Adobe folder is C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat
5.0Distillr\Acrotray.exe. I then uninstalled Adobe but the Acrobat Assistant
unchecked entry was still in the msconfig startup tab.

I checked HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Run (and Run-) but
the Adobe entry isn't listed in the right pane. Did the same thing with HKLM
and checked all run keys but again no entry. Also checked
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shared Tools and again nothing.

I tried putting a check mark next to the Adobe box in the msconfig startup
tab and rebooting but still no luck. I reinstalled Adobe Acrobat 5.0 and
left the Assistant in the startup group and there was still no registy
entry. I moved it out of the startup group so that it was unchecked in the
msconfig startup tab and again, no registry. Also doesn't show on a HiJack
This scan.

I haven't found anything on this in the MSKB, Adobe KB, or on Google. Can
someone help me with this? How can there be a msconfig startup tab entry
without a corresponding registry entry? It's like this is a phantom entry.
Where else in the registry could I look for this file?
