windows dancer

[Guest]

I cant stop windows dancer from starting on windows media center edition
start up. I have unchecked run this program when windows starts in the dancer
options. That didnt stop it. I have also gone in to msconfig and unticked
windows dancer.
However, there are two entries there and after reboot one is always
active....therefore the dancer always comes on.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

You can start or stop the dancers at any time.

Thanks Kelly....

However, I have tried all the options listed on that page. Its not a matter
of stopping it once it is running. It is a matter of NOT having it start
automatically when windows starts. I have taken of the tick that says start
with windows and it still starts everytime i reboot. I have also taken it
away using msconfig but it comes back every time.
Do you have any other ideas???

Hi Jorge,

I don't have it installed on my WMC here. Try looking here:
Start/Run/Regedit

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce
