• start-up: how to stop my yahoo messenger and windows messenger from starting when signing

  want to know how to stop my yahoo messenger and windows messenger from starting when signing.

  It is always better to stop programs from starting with Windows from the programs themselves, so look in their choices first. There may be an entry in your start > programs > startup folder which can simply be removed. If a program does not offer a way to control the start-up of its preferences, use msconfig to clear the check box next to its name, apply and OK on. Also take a look in your programs > startup folder to see if there is an entry for the application it.

  Start Orb > Search box > type: msconfig and when it appears in the results area above, right-click and choose 'run as administrator '.

  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on continue. Then see what is on the Startup tab. You don't need to restart immediately, but next time you do, you will get a dialog box saying that you have used the utility. Usually, it will be blocked by Windows Defender, and you need to allow it to run so that you can then check the box that says in effect, "don't mind to this subject again".

  Important - do not use the System Configuration utility to stop the process. Use Services and stop all services, unless you really, really know what you're doing.

  The free Autoruns program is very useful for managing your Startup - http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/default.mspx

• How can I stop Windows Search to steal the focus on the text input area?

  How can I stop Windows Search to steal the focus on the text input area?

  I can type about three characters maximum and then results focus, and I have to click with the mouse to the area of searching at the end.

  For example - I want to get "Img1.bak".

  I type 'I' "m" and then I'm whisked away and the 'g', I typed just takes me to the "great songs by Imogen Heap.txt" or what is the first result starting with g.

  I have to reselect the text box and add a letter or two at a time to get what I need. Very frustrating.

  On the login screen when messenger starts first, click Help on the right with the (?) and in the menu on the button, put a check mark next to "show the menu bar.
  OK - now you can access the menus at the top of the window. Go to tools-> Options.

• How can I stop Windows Live Messenger issuing alerts every minutes, hours and days of the year? I don't use it.

  I do not use Windows Live Messenger, but he insists on the display of alerts telling me to connect. Why it does this and how can I stop without causing problems in other areas? I know nothing about it except that the people who try to contact me (I guess) can do it without going through channels such as email or telephone.

  I assume you have Windows Live Messenger, because you have installed the Windows Live Essentials.
  If so, a brief explanation...
  Windows Live Essentials includes some programs that can be installed or NOT, must be installed. You can choose whoever you want.

  Now, you have 2 options...

  1. you can disable. He will remain in the system but inactive.

  2. you can purely and simply uninstall it, and it will be out of the system.

  RE: Disable Messenger
  Open MSN Messenger > at the top, click on tools > click Options > column to the left, click on Sign In > straight column, uncheck all boxes > click OK done wnhen.

• How can I stop Windows XP open My Documents on startuo?

  Hello

  I just reinstalled Windows XP Pro and after installation of SP2 evert time I start Windows automatically open My Documents.

  How can I stop this?

  Thank you.

  You have a false entry in one of your startup locations.

  First, click Start > all programs > startup and see if there is an entry that would open up My Documents.

  If you can't find the entry in the startup folder, download and run Autoruns.  Let it complete the scan (shown bottom left), then click the 'connection '.  Look at the entries and the beginning my Documents should be obvious.  Remove the line or uncheck the box at the beginning of the line (if you think you might ever want to reactivate this entry).

• How can I stop Windows 7 open several instances of a .txt file in Notepad?

  If accidentally, I try to open a second instance of a .txt file in Notepad, I want Windows 7 to remember that another instance is already open.

  It was, in Windows XP, whenever you tried to accidentally open a second instance of a .txt file in Notepad, you would get a message that will tell you that another instance was already open. However, it seems that in Windows 7, you can have multiple instances of the same .txt file open in Notepad (without getting any notification). It is confusing because I tend to make changes to one of these instances given, and when I save one of these cases, I eventually overwrite the changes on other instances.

   
  How can I stop this from happening? I can't turn on a pop-up message in Windows 7 that reminds me that another instance is open? Can I change a setting in my Notepad file to prohibit the opening of multiple instances?
   

  Hello

  
  Opening of multiple instances of the same file in Notepad is by design.

• How can I keep WIndows 7 from sleeping in the middle of a backup?

  If I have correctly start a backup from the console and leave the room, when I return from the computer is in standby.  When I wake up the computer, the backup will fail eventually.

  I know that it is possible for an application to inhibit sleep system; iTunes seems to do that when I'm streaming internet radio.  I looked at the controls associated with the backup and I don't see anything wrong.

  How can I prevent the system from falling asleep during a backup?

  Looks like a Microsoft Developer, David Anson, has a work around:

  Looks like there are a number of utilities that missing calls to SetThreadExecutionState() not sure if the backup is always broken, or HP broke.
