 | "Keeps track if you registered a SB Live! product. When registration was complete the shortcut was automatically removed and UpdReg.exe was no longer launched."

 | In keeping with Creative Lab's spyware history (see link - this made a system of mine unstable for a year), After setting "do not remind again" for registration, updreg continues to run at startup. I will leave you to draw your own conclusions!
