| 838250 | 2009-12-10 02:33:00 | That's what I was wondering - I don't necessarily want to DELETE or UNINSTALL this stuff, just make it to where it doesn't run itself every time I boot up... Any way to do this? |

Whilst you are there get: StartupMonitor www.mlin.net Read the how to use on the pages, both very worthwhile I have had them on every computer I've owned for the last 8 years, wouldn't run any computer I have any control over without them both. |

My favourite is Autoruns by Sysinternals; probably the single-most useful app I have. |

Ah well.. people will learn eventually I guess. |

| 838254 | 2009-12-10 07:33:00 | No, Autoruns is too powerful for the average user, StartupCPL is perfect for dealing with too many programs in startup but that you still may want to re-enable later and easily. Also autoruns does not warn when new programs are added to startup at install. |
