  • How can I change the programs that start automatically when I turn on my computer?

    I have several programs that slow down my departure upward.  I didn't not use programs and would that they won't start does not automatically.

    I have several programs that slow down my departure upward.  I didn't not use programs and would that they won't start does not automatically.

    First of all, note that you should be in * all * the programs that start automatically, not only with those who are in the system tray. Not all the programs auto-start manifesting by an icon in the status bar.

    On each program, you don't want to automatically start, check its Options to see if she has the choice to not start (make sure that you actually choose to not run, not simply a "don't display the icon" option). Many can easily and better be arrested like that. If this does not work, run MSCONFIG from the start. Run the line and on the Startup tab, uncheck the programs that you do not want to automatically start.

    However, if I were you, I wouldn't do this just for the purpose of the minimum number of running programs. Despite what a lot of people tell you, you should be concerned, not with the way * a lot * of these programs you run, but * that *. Some of them can seriously affect the performance, but others have no effect on performance.

    Don't stop all programs to run willy-nilly. What you need to do is to determine what each program is that its value is for you and what the performance cost is running all the time. You can try searching the Internet and ask questions about the details here.

    Once you have this information, you can make a smart informed decision on what you want to keep and what you want to get rid of.

  • How can I prevent certain programs to autostart on start my computer

    Several recently installed programs starting now opens automatically, thereby extending the time of start-up.  How can I delete them so that I can access from the desktop or the menu 'start '?

    Several recently installed programs starting now opens automatically, thereby extending the time of start-up.  How can I delete them so that I can access from the desktop or the menu 'start '?

    My personal opinion is that the attention that many people pay for how long it takes to start is not justified. Assuming that the speed of the computer is otherwise satisfactory, it is generally not worry. Most people start their computer once a day or even less frequently. In the overall scheme of things, even a few minutes at the start is not very important. Personally I power my computer when I get up in the morning, then go get my coffee. When I come back, he did start. I don't know how long it took to start and I do not.

    However, if you don't want to solve it, maybe it's because this programs to start automatically, and you can stop some of them to start this way. On each program, you don't want to automatically start, check its Options to see if she has the choice to not start (make sure that you actually choose to not run, not simply a "don't display the icon" option). Many can easily and better be arrested like that. If this does not work, run MSCONFIG from the start.

    Don't stop all programs to run willy-nilly. What you need to do is to determine what each program is that its value is for you and what the performance cost is running all the time.

    Hi JexterMaxim,

    1. what type of user accounts that you use?
    2. don't you log on as an administrator?
    3. don't you make changes to the agreement of the issue occur?

    When you install a program, you will need to select the installation option in particular only to user accounts. Not in user accounts. You can try the following steps.

    Desktop shortcuts are stored in one of two places:
    (a) in c:\Users\Public\Desktop. These shortcuts are shared and are visible to the user ever.
    (b) in c:\Users\UserName\Desktop. These shortcuts are not shared and are visible to the user.

    When you right click on a shortcut, and then click general, then you can see where this particular shortcut is stored.

    To make a shortcut of the group a) visible to yourself, do this method:
    a. drag the shortcut to the side with the right button of the mouse.
    b. Select "copy". You have now two seemingly identical shortcuts.
    c. delete the original shortcut.

  • How can I stop Firefox back to standard settings, whenever I turn off my PC?

    I have configured my favorite story of the icons, print, House etc. in the places that I like them, but whenever I turn off my PC the next day, they are in the standard set & I do once again, more than a little irritating because there has never been a problem before & past only began when I upgraded to 33.1
    Such things seem to happen whenever there is a upgrade, it got to a point where after years of use of Firefox I am seriously looking for a new default browser.

    Like to illustrate my point, when I restarted Firefox just after installing the add-on of troubleshooting all my custom icon settings are gone AGAIN.

    Your unsaved preferences.

    Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problems.

    See creating a profile:

    If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a profile already used in the new profile, but be careful not to copy files corrupted to avoid transporting on the problem

  • How can I prevent the Win7 installing display drivers just after starting?

    My main use of this particular computer is Microsoft's Flight Simulator X. It's a title 3-4 years and it works better on the 182.5 nVidia drivers than it does on the last drivers out there.

    I just got an ATI card and I'm replacing a nVidia card. I uninstalled the ATI card, used Driver Sweeper in safemode and jumped in the nVidia card. Unfortunately, Windows installs a driver, I don't want to as soon as I get in windows.

    I have disabled the Windows of any kind (temporarilly) updates, but it still happens. Searching on Google I found a solution that starts with-
    -Click Start
    -type in gpedit.msc entered press...

    Unfortunately gpedit does not seem to be on my system, so it stops there.

    I absolutely need the old version of this driver and there must be a clean install not on top of another driver so if anyone knows how to stop the auto install it please help. I spent far too much money on this sim card to be stopped by the present, and I don't want to go back to XP at this point.

    Thanks in advance,
    Rob

    Oops almost forgot I'm on Windows 7 64 bit.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Edit - Ok in another post here to solve another problem I've seen one person say to uninstall a driver, reboot and cancell the automatic installation of the new driver...

    My problem is that I do not get the dialog box who says it's installing drivers or one that will allow me to stop the installation after I type my password and press enter (log in). After you have clicked on enter it is less than 10 seconds before a dialog box tells me that I must restart to complete the installation. Never thought that I would complain that my ' computer is too fast, LOL!

    If I uninstall the video driver, start in safe mode, run driver Sweeper to get all the bits that are missed, restart back in safe mode I can again install the new drivers (older) then in safe mode? I've never tried something install with safe mode before, so I don't know if it is still possible or recommended.

    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated,
    Rob

    Hello Samhrutha G,.

    Thank you for your response. I think that your solution would work if Windows has never had the nVidia system driver, but because he did it (from when my settings were to allow updates) install regardless of my settings in the Windows Update settings. You see, I had (temporarilly) the value of this parameter to never to let Windows download and install updates but he ignored that (I tried with your settings too).

    I think I found a solution, but I could be wrong in my understanding. This is my thoughts when you uninstall a video card driver and restart with no 3rd party drivers on your system, Windows uses its driver 'Standard VGA '. I'm not sure but I think that it is the State in which we look after using something like Driver Sweeper in safe mode. Just the driver VGA Standard, this way a clean install of 3 third-party drivers can be made.

    What I did is to use Device Manager to access my VGA card and selected the option Update my driver from a list of drivers already on my system. It gave me the choice of GTX 275 nVidia Driver installation or driver VGA Standard. I chose the standard and restarted. After the restart he tried to update that I don't want, so that's good.

    My next steps will be to start in safe mode, run Driver Sweeper to clean the remnants of the nVidia Driver, restart, leaving the sytem completely load and then reboot again. I wil then install the driver nVidia of my choice.

    If I'm right that which users are usually trying to accomplish with the method Driver Sweeper is Windows just use is driver VGA Standard then I have all good and my card will work better than my old less powerful card (which is not currently the case). I think I'm right because Windows would need some kind of driver to display anything on the screen at all which I assume is his 'Standard VGA' driver.

    Please someone correct me if I'm wrong I typed all this out in the hope of helping others with the same question.

    Thank you once again Samhrutha I thank you for taking the time to offer your help.

  • How can I prevent videos from website run automatically?

    I run Media Center live and recorded tv in a small window during the visit of my favorite sites.  Many of the websites have articles I want to read as well as the same information in the form of a video (complete with ads).  I would like to know if there is a way to prevent, audio and video on websites to run automatically in Windows 7?  The audio portion of videos runs simultaneously with audio of Media Center what the audio of the two useless.

    I do however sometimes, visit video sites like Hulu and network sites to watch streaming tv shows of old and would need to be able to turn on audio/video on these Web sites.

    What is a setting in Windows or in the browser?  I usually use IE 11 for web browsing, but if there is another browser that offers more control over the audio/video Web sites I could without browsers.

    You can't control that, sorry.  Only the person who programmed the site can decide how the site works.  Or they can give you the control to choose, if they built these options on their Web sites.

  • How can I get the number of display automatically on a table line?

    I have an array of measures, and I would like the line number to display on each line. The challenge is that everytime I run the program, the total number of lines will be different, so I'd figures updated every time that I run the program based on the current number of lines.
