    After installing Visual C++ 6.0 and Internet Explorer 5.5 update I get a "Windows 95 is setting up the following items" dialog every time I restart windows or reboot my machine. There are no "following items" listed in the dialog. It doesn't seem to hurt anything, just annoying. Any ideas?

      Hi David, If you think that everything is OK and want that dialog no more, just open Regedit and look at these keys: Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Run and Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\RunOnce, both in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and in HKEY_CURRENT_USER. If you find an entry pointing to an unknown program or one in the VisualStudio or InternetExplorer directory, delete the value. You may first backup the settings by exporting the key in a .REG file. Hope this helps, Paolo.

        Thanks. Later in the day after I posted the message I went poking around in the registry. I found an entry from the MDAC install from Service Pack 4 that was calling RUNONCE. I removed it and that fixed the problem. Thanks again.
