When writing a good post, it is important to think about the meaning of your question. Instead of asking "Does anyone know how . . ." you should ask "How can I . . . " Here is another example: Instead of asking "Is it possible to . . .", you should ask "How do I . . ." It all comes under the subject of "clear thinking".

Guest Bob I Posted July 30, 2007 Posted July 30, 2007 Re: ??Help!! The correct answer would be to start by Right-clicking on the applications Icon in the notification area, and using the menu they provide to set the desired preferences for the program involved. The MSCONFIG routine should only be used for troubleshooting. vaykant wrote: > left click START... select RUN... enter msconfig... select STARTUP tab... > untick the apps that you dont want to run at startup... apply and reboot. > i appologise for the useless responses from people who know better. > > "Booples5" wrote: > > >>Does anyone know how I can stop certain programs from automatically starting >>when I turn my computer on? >> >>

Lots of ways, but the best way is to open the program in question and tell it NOT load automatically when windows loads. That's really the best way to start, rather than using msconfig or some other utility. -- http://www.bootdisk.com/
