Stop Tkbelexe from starting at startup

After removing the HJT entry for TkBelExe (Real Player resource hog, not required at startup) 10+ times on this brand new computer, I finally came up with a fix for it. Anyone who is having TkBelExe start up at boot and doesn't want it do, you can download this file:

After a few minutes in the Registry, I found the key that causes this to automatically start, despite removing the RUN entry. Just download and run that .reg and there will be no more hassles with it. Also, qttask.exe (QuickTime resource hog) creates a similar registry entry, but I haven't had to remove that entry to get it to stop automatically starting. If anyone has problems with qttask.exe starting on boot just make a post and I can upload another .reg file for that problem.

    I just noticed that TkBelExe will come back on startup after you run Realplayer, even after downloading and running the file above. However, it does not recreate the registry entry that is created, so you can just go into msconfig and disable it on startup, and it won't come back.
