XP - unwanted scheduled program

4 January 2010, 18:29

Every day at 18:00 I get a pop-up which tells me that a program has tried to run but wasn't found, as it was uninstalled and deleted some time ago

Where can I find / correct the scheduler which is trying to do this?

Thanks

The Task Scheduler is also available from control panel or click on windows/system32/taskschd.msc or (simplest generally) use help and click on link.
