tried to uninstall AOL, Dialer keeps trying to start, help

[philrbert]

Uninstalled AOL in safe mode. Everything looked ok, checked for any files I could see and looked with Hijack this for dialer. When starting-up an aol dialer keeps trying to install in the start-up programs. I'm lost, any guidance?

Thanks

as a work-around go to

http://www.sysinternals.com

& download their autorun program, install it and look for the AhOLe dialer in the startup and unclick the box. it will no longer run @ startup, unless a registry entry overrides it.

AOL is terrible for this, i'm suprised they get away with it.

Is there an entry remaining in My Computer > My Network Places > Network Connections?
