Besides the dsca.exe and the sprtcmd.exe under Startup, there's also a service that may be triggering the reloading. Start - Run - type services.msc  .    Under the list of services, find "SupportSoft Sprocket Service",  stop it, then set the startup to Manual instead of Automatic.  
Hi, I've read a few posts asking about how to remove Dell Support Center from the startup list, but I haven't come across any solutions, so I thought I'd make a new post. I've unchecked DSC many times from the startup list, which works for a day or two, but then voila - there it is again, sitting in my systray. Does anyone know how to disable / remove DSC from the startup list permanently? I don't want to uninstall the program - I think it can be useful when used manually - but having it run in the background at all times is really annoying! Thanks in advance! Ken A. Dienne
