    About every 10 minutes an HP Registration box comes up and gives me the options..

    Register Now
    Register Later
    Do not remind me anymore


    I tried all of these options and it keeps bugging me. How do I get rid of this thing!?

    It did the same to me.
    Do this:

    This document pertains to HP Notebook PCs with Windows
    Description
    The Windows Task Scheduler can be set to automatically start programs or display messages at prearranged times. Programs that display reminder popup windows may include:

    *
    Easy Internet Sign-Up – Sign up with an Internet Service Provider (ISP)
    *
    PC Registration – Register your PC with HP.
    *
    Extended Service plan – Sign up for an extended warranty
    *
    Service plan – Review warranty terms and conditions

    There are reported instances where some notebook programs continue to display pop up reminders even after the user performs the requested action. In most of these instances, the program did not remove the Task Scheduler entry and the pop-up message displays each time the Task Scheduler starts. To stop the pop-up message action from repeating, the user must run the Task Scheduler program and manually remove the entry.
    Remove an automatic action from Task Scheduler
    To prevent automated tasks from starting multiple times, remove the entry from the Task Scheduler by performing the following actions:

    1.
    Click Start, type Scheduler in the search field, and select Task Scheduler when it appears.
    If prompted for permission, click Continue.
    2.
    In the left column, click Task Scheduler Library.
    3.
    In the center column, select the task you want to stop.
    4.
    In the right column, click Delete, and then click Yes to confirm deletion.
    5.
    Close the Task Scheduler window.

    The task or reminder will no longer begin automatically.
