Which Stardock program generates a customized login message?
I forget, and now I can't get rid of the message!

Hi,
I used some program from Stardock to generate a message in a popup window at Windows login. While having my computer saying "Hello, Dave" on startup seemed cute a few weeks ago, I'm pretty tired of it now. Problem is, I don't remember which program I used. I've looked through all the Stardock programs I currently have installed, and none of them have this feature. So whichever program it was, I seem to have uninstalled it.
I've tried searching for my login message string in the registry and through every Windows-searchable file on my HDD, hoping to delete the appropriate key or file. But apparently it's not stored in the registry or in any ASCII file.
How can I undo my work?

After you have it installed, run it and see if you can find whatever it is that's starting at load.
