I decided to uninstall the free edition of Ad-Aware. This was originally a version I had upgraded to Anniversary Edition and somewhere along the line I had been prompted to upgrade yet again, I think to 8.0.8. Anyway the uninstall program asked me to reboot to complete the operation and ever since on starting Windows (XP SP3) I get a screen which reads "lsdelete not found - skipping AUTOCHECK".

I have tried everything I can think of to get rid of this annoyance (and lengthening of the boot time), including a registry scan via Registry Mechanic and Revo and reinstalling and uninstalling again, but have so far failed completely. Is there a way to sort this?

I should perhaps mention that I have no version of Ad-Aware currently installed.

All suggestions gratefully received!

Many thanks. Problem solved (although the path to BootExecute is rather different in my XP Home registry).
