Removing Nvidia drivers please help!

I switched from Nvidia video card to ATI and am having trouble getting
rid of the Nvidia startup stuff. On every reboot I get error messages
with "module not found".

The files are gone but there are 3 reg
keys I can't get rid of. All are in
HKLM/software/microsoft/windows/current version/run Keys are Nwiz,
NvCplDaemon, and Nvmediacenter. I can open regedit, delete them, close
regedit, and when I reopen it they are back.

My user is a member of administrators and regedit show administrators
having full control.
Have also tried from administrator account and from safe mode. As
administrator I can delete the keys and close/reopen regedit and they
still gone but no matter what I do the keys come back on next reboot.

Have also tried DriverCleaner, Registry cleaner, and JV16 power tools, Win Patrol, ccleaner, with same result, they come back

I've also tried disabling the items in MSCONFIG but they recheck
themselves after reboot.

I've tried checking permissions all the way up the tree and everything
looks ok; obviously it isn't though.

I'm not sure if this is a permissions issue or if something is
re-adding these entries.

I think its this that's doing it:
RUNDLL32.EXE C:\WINDOWS\system32\NvMcTray.dll,NvTaskbarInit
but I don't know how to stop it....

Can anyone help me?
