Can anyone explain why two applications automatically launch themselves as
soon as Windows XP opens? The first is the Document/Settings folder and the
second is software I have just installed called EndNote 9 (although I have
installed it previously with no problems). This is a new problem. Up until
now XP has been working very well for some time. Thank you.
 
The first and easiest fix is to look at Programs>Startup folder.
If they're in there, delete them.

Next place to look is "Startup" tab in Start>Run>msconfig

Find the referenced program and then write down location.
then Start>Run>regedit
You are editing the Windows "Registry". Be Very Careful!!!!!
A mistake can cause serious problems.
 
Hello and thank you. I couldn't find the files in Programs>Startup and
couldn't find them in Start>Run>msconfig either.
 
They didn't show up under the "Startup" tab in Msconfig?
You're sure?

Does either one of these put an icon in systray ( lower rt corner of screen)?
