I used to run ADE 4.0.3 on Windows 7.  After I uninstalled it and every time I rebooted my PC, a setup window pops up asking me to install Adobe Digital Editions 4.0.3.  This annoying setup window was one of the reasons why I uninstalled ADE.

And no, messing around with DropboxUpdate.exe (which is a 131kb file) did absolutely nothing.

Question: How do I make this stop once and for all?
