Use Autoruns to find any unwanted start ups!

Gerry,
Thank you for your reply. That program looks a little complicated and might get
me into trouble...I remember this problem happening a year or so back and
someone gave me a real simple way to stop it but I've forgotten it.

Anyone out there know what it is?
Don

With Autoruns you can uncheck an item, which disables it from starting,
or you can can right click an item and then delete it. If you uncheck
you can recheck to re-enable the item. It is a much safer approach than
editing the Registry. Another useful feature of the programme is that
you can right click an item and select Search Online to get information
about the item selected.

Simple program. It installs itself in Control Panel with the name
"Startup"
