Hi All,
My Win 7 box at my parents did a lot of updates as it had not been powered for a while. Fair Enough.
After restarting I appear to auto running 'Chromium' on boot this is odd, why not Edge (IE Gord knows) What is Chromium, Chrome was installed but rarely used. I first went to the startup option only found Dropbox, next stop Control Panel not there. How do I get rid of it????

In addition to:
C:\Users\glenn\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
Did you also look in:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
As a last resort, did you search the registry for Chromium?

Thanks for that, seem I am heading down a rabbit hole!

As long as said hole has not been taken over by a snake or a skunk, you should be fine.

Don't search manually - you'll never find all of the places where things can register to start automatically! 
Use Autoruns[^] instead.

Chromium is the open source browser on which Chrome is based. Somebody must have downloaded and installed it at some point. It doesn't just appear out of nowhere!
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

Of course it does, it comes out of the sky like all software.

I assume it came as a download, it may have come with a WinZip upgrade...Open Source sounds like an invite to all manner of nasties.

Wife of Jeremy Kyle granted a quickie divorce from the daytime
TV star today after 13 years of marriage citing 'unreasonable
behaviour'.
I can't wait to tune in to this episode of the show!

Do you know how they met?
Quote: Kyle met former model Carla Germaine in 1999, while he was presenting on a 96.4 BRMB radio show, and Germaine entered the controversial Two Strangers and a Wedding contest hosted by the station.[20] As the winner of the bride part of the contest, her prize was to marry the selected groom, Greg Cordell. Their marriage lasted only three months, after claims that Greg had an affair just days after their honeymoon, and she subsequently married Kyle in 2002
It is his second divorse, the first ended shortly after his first child was born with him hiding a massive gambling habit.

They recruit people for it by hanging around family courts looking for willing victims participants, offer them travel, hotel stay and expenses.

Are you sure? I thought they'd meet them through the likes of Rotarians, Woman's Institute and Bible Study Groups.

A TV programme full of scummy people with Kyle being the scummiest. The man is vile. Though everytime I'm off work I watch it just so I can hate him that little bit more.

I didn't know there was a "Sleep" button on my keyboard.
He did.
All I know is my monitors went blank without the PC shutting down...
Worked out it was sleep mode, and woke it up - only to be presented with the login screen.
Do I know my MS password? Do I heck as like! I know it's a GUID, but that doesn't help much.
I keep it in a file and access it via an application ... which runs on my PC ... ah.
No problem! I can access the file from the backup on the NAS.
Except...it's encrypted and I need the app to decrypt it...
So I tried "Restart" and ... it worked, once it had installed a bunch of "this morning" updates. And it doesn't ask for my password, because I have that turned off. And now Sleep won't either, and I have a copy of my password on my tablet.
This has "one of those days" written all over it.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

In one company, a neighbourhood cat adopted me and would like to sit on my lap, he was pretty large though so one day, while turning around, his backend hit the series of keys that made the display rotate clockwise. First time I'd ever seen that.
One evening at home, I suddenly hear very creepy music I don't recognize coming from my office. Get up there to find my girl cat peacefully loafing on the laptop having turned it to airplane mode and located a game soundtrack I didn't even know I had.

Why go for all that trouble - simply ask the cat fro the password
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Because he's a cat - he'll want Scampi in copious quantities for that information!

My cat gets on the chair behind me and I end up on the front edge before I banish him. At which point he comes back and gets behind me again.
He also looks over my shoulder to watch me typing or playing solitaire. 
Mongo: Mongo only pawn... in game of life.

Playing solitaire? is he any good at it?
least it stops him looking over your shoulder

Further evidence, if any was needed, that cats are evil.

What is the point of having a GUID as a password, if you do not need to type it in when you start your computer ?
