Registry Changes on startup

[Starfox00000]

I really like Spybot S&d and teatimer. Problem is that when i start up my computer (i have windows XP home SP2) i get alot of registry changes. This wouldnt be so bad, but they come up every time i boot up my comp. And they are the same ones every time, from authentic programs, usually that i have uninstalled (ex. norton antivirus). Anyways i have tryied several registy cleaners, but none have helped. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. I didnt see a teatimer fourm, so i posted here since Teatimer is bundled with spybot s&d, sry if i missed it.

Thx!

Try refreshing TeaTimer's snapshots files and see if that gets rid of some of the messages you are getting at startup.

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 snapshots were 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.
