How can I stop spotify that appears when I start my PC. ?

The Spotify link keeps appearing when I open my PC, even if I did anything to unsubscribe Facebook & on my desk. help please.

Hi Sue,

It is not a virus or infection - just a difficult program to remove (or so it seems).  Let's start with some basic options and see if 'simple' did the trick.

First of all, download Revo (the free version): http://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_uninstaller_free_download.html.  Install and search for Spotify (or anything that looks at it's Spotify).  Advanced mode allows to uninstall it from the computer.

If this does not work (or you can't find it), then download Autoruns http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902 and install it and run it and click all.  Now, search for all entries (there can be more than one, in order to verify the entire list) which indicate Spotify (especially in the startup programs).  If found, clear the checkbox to prevent them from running at startup.  Once done, reboot and that will probably solve the problem.

If that doesn't work, check your browser and try the mode without modules (if he has one - you can find it for IE in the menu start / all programs / accessories) or check the Add-ons for those who relate to Spotify in any way and disable or delete them.  Then, if you found one, reboot and see if the problem persists.  You will need to do this for any browser that you have installed.

If this isn't the case, please explain further what you mean by "link Spotify".  It's a shortcut or something in the taskbar or a running program or what?  Where is it located?  If you right-click on it and click Properties, does say anything about where it came from (a specific location)?  The link even works at all if you do a right click or left click on it?  He works (by which I mean, is Spotify actually run or is the problem just the boredom of the link appearing)?

If the problem persists, try a clean boot to see if the problem persists.  If this isn't the case, we can solve it.  Try a clean boot (Vista and W7) http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135. If the problem goes away then it's just a matter of tracking down the culprit at the origin of the problem. Follow the procedures described in the article. Once found, remove, delete, disable or uninstall. Once don't forget to reset your system back to the normal state, as described in the procedures. If the problem occurs in clean mode then just restore the system to normal and reboot - this solution will not work. If you are using XP, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310353 and http://support.microsoft.com/kb/316434.

That's enough for now.  We can try other things if these do not work, but we will keep for just this now and Then, if the problem persists, please answer these questions and explain what happened with each procedure you tried and provide everything that could be useful.

I hope this helps.

Good luck!

  • How can I get rid of the box that appears when you start Firefox 'Restore previous Session'?

    How can I get rid of the box that appears when you start Firefox 'Restore previous Session'?

    Subject: House is the default in Firefox 4 home page - look at the address bar containing the addresses of web page - it is the container for Google search, with a 'extract container' and below these elements is the Previous Session Restore button. It's not the same homepage that previous versions of Firefox used (although it is similar in appearance), it is a 'local' page that won't load the Internet.

    Set this page as your home page, which is what Firefox 3.6 and earlier versions had for the default home page. He has Previous Session Restore button/link.

    How can I stop mail that is NOT marked as spam to be sent to my Junk folder? In some cases, it's the messages that were once reported as junk that I scored is NOT undesirable. in other cases, it's the messages that have never been reported as spam, but are sent to the junk e-mail folder. Same recipients over and over.

    I'm running OS X 10.11.3

    I can't find a way to mark a message in my junk as e-mail folder as not junk.  Some versions of Mac OS x there is there a way to mark a message as "not junk".  Every once in a while I find valid messages hidden in my Junk folder.  There is no indication in the help on how to mark them "not junk" (usually help isn't much help!).  I see that no one has replied to your message, Nix-649.  Google talks about it, but nothing is very recent. I'm under El Capitan, 10.11.3.

  • How can I stop and then resume when you use the magnetic Lasso tool?

    CS4 on Mac. I have some fairly complicated selections to make and the magnetic lasso tool seems a good choice. However: How can I stop and then resume when in use? For example, I would like to zoom, start by dragging along the edge, then stop, move the image to a different area of it is in the middle of my screen, then pick up again where I left.

    Hi MarieMeyer,

    You can press the SPACEBAR shortcut to activate the hand tool temporarily once you are finished with the selection on a part of the image.

    Then, move the image with the key space key and let it continue with the selection by using the magnetic lasso tool.

    You can use the SHIFT key to add to the selection by using the magnetic lasso tool.

  • How can I stop any window maximizing when I move it?

    Windows 8 Pro 64, recent installation on the new version of the computer.

    I often have two or more open windows on the desktop. After you install a better graphic with drivers card, when I try to move a window, she flashes green on the edges of the screen and then maximizes. Then, when I restore down, the window comes up at the same place where he opened. It is VERY annoying, I have found no way to prevent this. In short, it seems that windows try to 'Act' W8 where maximizes the targeted window mode (AND these windows maximize WITHOUT reduce it or restore down button!). How can I change the settings (which, so far, I could find) to stop this action "auto expand '?

    None of these answers is 'applicable' to the problem. I stopped today by a W8 kiosk in a mall and asked the 'guru' it in this regard. The solution is to go to:

    Control Panel\Ease of Access\Ease to access Center\Make the mouse easier to use

    And check the box under make it easier to manage windows:
