How can I keep Skype from loading when I turn on?

I now use it on another computer and don't want to load into memory when I turn on my work computer.  It takes a bit of memory and is rumored to break the Clipboard (cut, paste etc.) for MS Office.  The help for Vista instructions say first load Windows defender, but the working document on my computer won't start.  Is there a way to keep Skype to load without WD?  If I sometimes need to Skype on my work computer I load right there.

Hello

Open Skype > tools > Options > General settings > uncheck "Start Skype when I start Windows" > save.

See you soon.

    How can I keep my domain name when I change Bluehost at Adobe Muse Publishing?

    When you go live with your site to Business Catalyst, you will need to do two things.

    1: go to site settings and add the domain name

    2: depending on the weather, you want e-mail hosted on Business Catalyst as well or leave the mail on BlueHost

    a: to leave the mail on BlueHost will give you an IP address to redirect the DNS A Record field to control panel in the BlueHost.

    This can take up to 48 hours for the change to take effect (but usually with in a few hours)

  • How can I stop Firefox from loading automatically when I start my computer?

    Some time ago I set up Windows for Outlook and Firefox open automatically when I connect. Now, I want to stop FF to open automatically. I went in the startup folder and deleted the shortcut to FF several times but he returns. I changed the name of Mozilla Firefox in Windows programs to xxMozilla Firefox directory and has no stop from loading. If necessary, I'll take off my computer completely FF, but I prefer not to do that.

    Hi burtw,

    This isn't really a Firefox problem per say, but more a question of Windows. You'll probably look at the research in places like:

    Start the program and click the Connect tab uncheck the entries that you do not want to start.

    Not uncheck anything that you are not sure you know what it is. Your computer may not work correctly or may not even start.

    You can also look at the options of programs that start automatically. It may be possible to disable them.

    Look in the startup folder in the start all programs Menu. Right click and delete any entries that you don't want.
