Autoruns would make this very easy, I use it to control items I want to
start up and do not want to start up.
If I click on the logon tab, it shows me everything set to automatically run
upon my startup and I can simply remove the check from items I do not want
to start. I just looked and sidebar.exe is included in the item list.
Don't have to go through msconfig, and can easily restore items you want to
start up once again.

You can get it here:

More user unfriendly ways to stop a program from loading at boot. MS
should have made that option available in the Sidebar but that would
require caring what users want.

Um, being as you're not here, how would you know? You are ASSuming again

How do you know what I own or use? You're not here so you obviously are
guessing and hoping what you say is true but, sorry Wank, it ain't true.

You don't have Windows 7 so you don't have any sidebar to worry about!

I saw your original post. Thank you for the intelligent and informative
response! When did usenet degenerate so badly that half the people seem
to be incapable of a response that goes beyond something like "to stop
idiots like you from messing with it"? Back in the good old days you just
didn't see many mouthy 10 year old kids out here. Now, most of this
thread has devolved to "mine is bigger than yours, you <insert
prepubescent insult of the day>".

I played with it for a while. The first thing I did was make a copy of
the file, since I have full ownership of the copy and it was easier to do
that than to figure out how to take control of it. I looked through the
executable, and the registry string does not occur anywhere in the
version I have, let alone at the address you specified. At this point I
moved on to other projects because I didn't have time to pursue it
further.

My motivation for figuring this out is that I remove all startup items
from startup so they don't execute by default. Several years ago I wrote
a simple program that lets me store a list of startup items, and
conditionally executes them for me. I boot Windows, which happens much
faster without all of the startup junk. Then I run my program, which will
either let me choose individual startup items, or it will run items that
I have preconfigured to be run when I push the go button. I wanted to add
sidebar to this list, which is when I discovered the it automatically
makes itself auto start each time you run it. (programmers that pull
stunts like that need to have their fingers broken so they don't do
things like that anymnore).
