    I removed most of the bloatware from my FZ but there is one AOL registry item that is in the startup when viewed with msconfig. I can prevent it from starting but then get a message everytime I boot up. If I try edit the entry from the registry the entry doesn't show up.....somehow it's hidden. Any thoughts on how to remove?
