I'm getting kind of annoyed that Cuboids starts up everytime I restart my computer, but I can't seem to figure out where it's installed. Also, it doesn't seem to have an uninstall feature.

Any suggestions?

goto: www.mlin.net

Download the Startup Control Panel.

Install it (or just run the bare .EXE)

You can control everything that starts up with your computer easily (also very helpful with gettin spyware under control).

It might even give you a path to follow for uninstall but if nothing else it can help you eliminate it from starting up.

It's in the Registry -
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce]
"Cuboid Simulation"="C:\\someplaceonyourharddrive\\CuboidSimulation.exe"
Delete this key "Cuboid Simulation"

Everytime you start it up, it puts itself there so when you logon or reboot, it starts back up.
A little nasty trick if you ask me.

Okay, cool, I wasn't sure what that was for, and was afraid to randomly click, since that might've caused something worse.
