Can't prevent Acrotray from starting up

x-no-archive: yes

Have a problem.... Depite using msconfig to uncheck Adobe Acrobat Distiller
Acrotray in the startup files, it will load up next time you boot up. Have
used regedit to look in RunOnce, RunOnce-, etc to see if I can delete the
key manually but there's no entry at all for Acrotray!
Any thoughts that would help me achieve this?
Thanks for any help.

I don't see why you picked on unlikely once-only startup items like
RunOnce or disabled items like RunOnce- but try this so we can see
where it is starting from:

Start-Run-msinfo32
Click the + beside Software Environment to expand.
Click Startup Programs
Ctrl+A to Select All, Ctrl+C to Copy.
Paste that information in your message.

It doesn't start from the Registry. It starts from the Startup group.
Remove the shortcut from the Startup folder, C:\WINDOWS\Start
Menu\Programs\StartUp
