RIS 2.0 starts automatically when I boot PC

I just upgraded to RIS 2.0 on a Windows 2000 machine (used to have RIS 1.0
on a 486!).

Upon booting up the machine, the RIS 2.0 software automatically comes up.  I
wish to disable this.

It's not in the startup group in my Start Menu.

I did find something interesting by running Start:Accessories:System
Tools:System Information

Under the "Software Environment" folder on the left, there's a "Startup
Programs" subfolder.  Listed there is RIS2PostReboot, the command is
c:\program files\lego mindstorms\ris 2.0\launchris2.exe

I can't seem to remove or change this--my autoexec.bat & config.sys are
blank files.


What shall I do to remove this autostart "feature"?

Thanks
-Jason
