Oh, another killer app for Windows to check startups is HijackThis! It
searches all kinds of places.

Clear your browser cache as well. Each cookie is stored as a small
file...say 300bytes but takes up a cluster on your hard drive, which
could be say 512 byte clusters. So, that could be it too.

If other people can use your computer, you will need to check all the
users. Check for programs like Limewire, Azureus, or any other file
sharing type program. People will often not delete the files they
download.

There's a lot of possibilities. I am throwing many at you.
