Resident continues to alert about deleted startup entries and msconfig changes

[jemfree]

I have been using Tea-timer/Resident for some months.
When I delete programs that are supposed to run at startup, resident asks if the change is allowed - fair enough.
BUT, now each time I log on it asks the same questions, even though the registry keys are long gone.
Recently this behaviour also happens in relation to the msconfig auto setting.
I had used msconfig to enter safe mode and shen I switched back to regular and then turned off the habitual msconfig startup on logon, Tea-timer correctly noted the registry change and I allowed it.
Problem is, each time I restart now I get pestered about the same deleted global system startup value.
When I click "remember", the warning still appears in the bottom left hand corner and I find it very annoying because it makes me think the registry restores the key before shut-down for some reason.
Any ideas?

TeaTimer takes snapshots of Registry entries and compares these with the Registry at startup. Until these snapshots are updated you are likely to get pop-ups (at startup) of changes you made in the past. In other words, TeaTimer attempts to return the Registry to the state it was in when the snapshot was taken. This happens primarily when you reboot the system. To refresh TeaTimer's snapshot files:
Right click Spybot's TeaTimer System Tray Icon > click Exit Spybot-S&D Resident.
TeaTimer closes.
TeaTimer's snapshot files are refreshed at this time.

Restart TeaTimer:
Using Windows Explorer, navigate to C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy.
Double click TeaTimer.exe to start it.

This is speculation, but I believe this behavior is because of the following:
It appears that when TeaTimer starts the snapshot files are read into memory and maintained there. The snapshot files only appear to be rewritten when TeaTimer closes. During system shutdown (or restart) it appears that TeaTimer is terminated before it has a chance to rewrite the snapshot files.

Thank you for the workaround advice.
Regarding your theory about windows closing before the teatimer snapshot is updated, the problem I am decribing does not apply to installed programs (added registry values), only uninstalled ones (deleted keys). How do you figure that one?

Does that mean it worked?

I tried it and it worked! Hooray!
