I installed a freeware utility then uninstalled it. After I uninstalled it, the exe file runs after a soft reset and states that the program files are missing. I have deleted all files related to the program, and have even clean the registery to no avail. Where is this exe file located?

The Windows Mobile OS will execute programs from the folder \Windows\Startup every time a soft reset is done. USe File Explorer and check if there are any files related to this program in that folder.

You might want to make a copy of the folder before deleting anything from there, since there are other programs that use it too.

Thanks! I had looked there, but must have overlooked it the first time.
