avast startup not working

[BunkFace]

I have recently uninstalled a program - StartRight. The problem is it failed to 'restore' avast's startup details/setings and it was removed along with the program. I can still run avast but now, it does not startup with Windows. I am wondering how do enable avast to startup with Windows again.

Edit - About StartRight:
StartRight will manage the execution of programs that are automatically started by the operating system at logon time. Instead of executing many programs at once (causing your OS to spit and sputter and attack your hard drive), StartRight will give the OS time to execute the program before running the next program. The OS should become much more responsive almost imediately after logon.

Check msconfig (start/run) for anything related to avast that is unchecked. Also check disabled startup items.

I gave up on StartRight... it's a poor software.
If you need a startup monitor (and delayer) use Try Startup Delayer.
This freeware controls the windows startup (Windows 98\Me\2k\XP) that does not follow a strict order.

About the avast icon:

1. Check the option in the Appearance tab of settings.
or
2. Repair your avast installation through Control Panel.
or
3. Make a link to ashdisp.exe in your startup folder
or
4. Add the path to ashDisp.exe into a value named avast! in the Windows Registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

Finaly you win? what you mean,becourse i not understand this Tech.
We have never have a fight.
But i have a litle problem. I did send a email to the Technical support.
And i read this mail 10 minutes a go, and if i publiced here the mail,
step by step then have this maybe consequenses for all of us.
Its i think a matter between Adam Riley and me.
Its possibly that every one this go doing, and this is maybe dangeres.
Its helps me whit me problem,but there are people who not exactly know
how to do this.
I read in magazines and tips and trucs,and so you understand better
your computer.But the only thing what i can say is that i have place
a QuickButton on me desktop,and so i can follow the logbook.
And for the note ,when i did the job done,send AVAST me 2 Updates.
I hope that you understand me,but i am carefully whit this Stuff.

I believe that Cactusjack probably intended the above post for a different thread.
