Hi ,

I want to terminate some program to run on start up but I can't find it
on the windows services .. what is the alternative way to do that ?
 
First look in the options or configuration of the programs to see if there
is a "run on system startup" option.
next look in Start > All Programs > Startup and remove the shortcut
then try Start > Run, type msconfig, go to the startup tab and untick the
items you don't want to start.

hope this helps,
Martin
 
... Click Start, then go to Run, then type in: msconfig
... Click on the Startup tab at the top, this will show a listing of programs
that auto start when your computer is first booted. If you uncheck the box
the
program will no longer auto start and sit in your system tray /notification
area
when you boot. You'll need to reboot before this takes effect.

Another way and more preferable to do this would be to go to the program
that is in your system tray/notification area and you may find the settings
to remove them from the auto start, most programs have this listed in the
properties section.

startup vectors and will show you what is loading at startup and from where.
The
included Help gives a brief tutorial with some good information on removing
the
entries that the program finds.
