How do I disable the WkDetect from running on my startup?

I have Microsoft Works 2002 in my Dell Computer running Windows XP. I have
tried to stop the WkDetect.exe from running by disabling it on the startup in
the System Configuration Utility, but it always returns.

I only use Microsoft Word 2002 from the Microsoft Works 2002 that I have
installed in my computer.
 
I don't know how to use this tool to remove a registry entry works. I would
need help step by step.

You mentioned:

Use this excellent tool to remove the Registry Entry from the Run:
[-]HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run =
WkDetect.exe
also:
[-]HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run =
WkDetect.exe
AutoRuns for Windows v8.73

Also I have removed WkDetect.exe in the startup but it always returns when I
open Microsoft Word which I use regularly. Wouldn't it return when I start
Microsoft Word again after using your removal tool?

Most applications/Good one have an option to configure it to start or not
start at start up, check your application configuration menu.
HTH.

This explanation does not answer my question at all, or I don't understand
what you are saying.

Is WkDetect.exe a system stopper? Is it worth disabling this update
reminder?

I wouldn't call it any sort of system stopper, no. The OP doesn't seem
to like it, though, and it won't hurt much to stop it.
