I have Kodak Easyshare software, and it got included as an automatic startup
each time I turn on my Pc. I don't want it to be there. If I want to open
the program, i'll click on the icon. It slows down my start up time...how do
I remove it from automatically starting up?

You could try Google. Here is one link that can help but there are many
more if this one is not helpful.

Hi Ruth,

1) Check the programs' options or settings/preferences for the startup
capability. If it exists, uncheck it.

2) Check the startup folders for a shortcut and delete it:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
C:\Documents and Settings\<user_name>\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

3) Click start/run, tyoe msconfig and click ok. Go to the startup tab, check
for an option for Kodak's software and uncheck it. Click apply/ok when
finished.

You can prevent specific items from starting up you can uncheck them in
the System Configuration Utility.
Start|Run|msconfig|ok
Uncheck the item which is listed under the Startup tab|Apply/ok|Reboot.
To remove from the registry source:-

Start|Run|Regedit|ok

Access the common registry locations of these items take a look in the
following areas:-

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce


If you have disabled items in the System Configuration Utility and would
like to remove them from the registry also they can be found in one of
the following locations:-

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SharedTools\MSConfig\startupfolder

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig\startupreg
