Awwkkk ... mental lapse!

[Will Denny]

Hi

Have a look in the program's settings - possibly under preferences or
options.

I cannot remember how to prevent a program from starting that is set to
automatically startup when the system (XP Pro) is booted! Can someone
remind how to do that?


Thanks.

or otherwise check out MSCONFIG or if you like more control Windows Startup
Inspector at http://www.windowsstartup.com/

In most cases, with "well-mannered" applications, it's usually as
simple as opening the undesired program and deselecting the option to
"display icon in the system tray" or to "start when Windows starts."

Additionally, Look in the C:\Documents and Settings\All
Users\Start Menu\Programs\Start Up and C:\Documents and
Settings\username\Start Menu\Programs\Start Up folders, and in the
system registry, primarily in the
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run and
HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run keys.
