• II you need VERY basic instructions on how to stop a program from running at startup, without the help of Windows Defender.

  I have a Vista operating system, I use Firefox as my browser and I have MS Security Essentials, I turn off my Windows Defender.  I want to disable some programs from starting automatically, but I can't figure out how do it when I can not use this feature in Windows Defender.  I'm not at all read and write or experienced in computers or software, so PLEASE keep this in mind.  I really need advice for flush on a kindergarten, with each specific step the easiest way, so I can understand & follow him.

  Thank you for your help in this matter, as well as for your understanding of my limitations.

  Hello

  Without knowing the programs you want to disable, I'll start by saying that I can't be responsible for adverse effect to the normal operation of your system.

  That said...

  • Click Start
  • Type msconfig and press enter
  • Click on the Startup tab

  You will see checkboxes for programs that run at startup.

  Or you can use a more comprehensive tool called autoruns...

  Maybe is a better way to explore the settings for the programs themselves, there is often a check box for "do not run at startup.

  Hello

  If you use Norton, AVG, Avira, Microsoft Security Essentials, McAfee, etc. the default action is for Windows Defender must be disabled, that these AntiVirus programs have their own Antispyware Applications.

  There is nothing to worry.

  Using both programs at the same time can cause system conflicts, etc.

  To now change the Vista startup programs without using Defender, use one of these methods:

• Remove some programs from running at startup

  How can I remove some programs from running at startup? for example, Super Anti Spyware, automatically runs on startup and is listed in the lower right corner of my desk drawer, but it really slows my time to go on the internet. I only have access if necessary.

  You can click on start > run > msconfig

  then under the Startup tab, you will find a list of programs that launch at startup of windows.   they are activated by a check mark.

  In addition, you can check the services through the services tab.

  Select / check "hide microsoft services" and then what remains on the revised list are non-microsoft programs you have added to the system and are also expected to start automatically.

  don't forget to click 'apply' for the changes you make and then restart to see the effects.

• How to stop a program that runs as administrator

  When you start a program that I use regularly, I clicked "run as administrator", how can I fix this so the program no longer works as an administrator?

  I tried to go in the properties and uncheck "run as Administrator".

  Help, please!

  The "Run as Administrator" option in the menu popup is used only once when you select.  It is not stored and permantently used for future time you use the program.

  Just close the program, then click the icon to open it normally and it is no longer "will run as an administrator" unless tell you him again.

• How can I stop CHKDSK from running on startup?

  CHKDSK turned on somehow and now every time I start my Pc it runs this program.  It is on my hard drive and takes a long time to startup!  How can I stop the program from running at startup?

  The next time your system starts and installs, you should check the bit of impurity of the volume as follows:

  Click Start, run and enter in the box:

  cmd

  Click OK to open the command prompt window.

  To query the bit of impurity on drive C, type:

  fsutil dirty query C:

  The sample output:
  Volume c is dirty
  Volume C: is dirty

  Type "exit" to close the command prompt window.

  Is your disc dirty or it is not dirty?    If you have more than one volume, check all out them.

  A volume is marked usually dirty of a power outage or something like using the power button to restart the system.  One of this kind of thing has happened before this problem?

  The command chkntfs /d to clear a chkdsk waiting you plan yourself, but it does not clear the dirty bit.

  The command chkntfs /X C: never say XP check the reader for inconsistencies again and perhaps not a good idea since the reader may really need that chkdsk to run on it.  If the dirty bit is just NOT clear, no matter what you do, your HARD disk may be failing / failed.

  The only way to clear the dirty bit is a success of chkdsk /r and if she will not clear at the start of your system, I would run it from the XP Recovery Console so you can watch it run and if you like, run it again until it runs its own.  You cannot check the good bit of impurity of the XP Recovery Console, but you can see what chkdsk/r.

  Since we don't know anything about your system, here are some instructions for making a CD of bootable XP Recovery Console and from there, you can run chkdsk/r until it comes clean.

  Boot into the Recovery Console Windows using an XP bootable installation CD.

  If you have no XP bootable media (or aren't sure you have) create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and do not forget.

  This is not the same as recovery disks that might have come with the acquisition of the system store.

  You can make a bootable Recovery Console CD by downloading an ISO file and burn it to a CD.

  The ISO bootable image file you need to download is called:

  xp_rec_con. ISO

  Download the ISO from here:

  http://www.mediafire.com/?ueyyzfymmig

  Use a new CD and this simple and free program to burn your ISO file and create your bootable CD:

  http://www.ImgBurn.com/

  When you install ImgBurn, DO NOT install the Ask toolbar.

  Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:

  http://Forum.ImgBurn.com/index.php?showtopic=61

  It would be a good idea to test your bootable CD on a computer running.

  You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.  These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

  When you start on the CD, follow the instructions:

  Press any key to boot from CD...

  Installing Windows... going to pronounce.

  Press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console.

  Select the installation that you want to access (usually 1: C:\WINDOWS)

  You may be asked to enter the password (usually empty).

  You should be in the folder C:\WINDOWS.  It's the same as the

  C:\Windows folder that you see in Solution Explorer.

  The Recovery Console allows base as file commands: copy, rename, replace, delete, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, cd, etc.

  For a list of the commands in the Recovery Console, type help at the prompt of commands or read on here XP Recovery Console:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/recovery_console_cmds.mspx?mfr=true

  A good idea before you start things must first verify the integrity of your file system by using the chkdsk command.

  In the command prompt window, run the chkdsk command on the drive where Windows is installed to try to fix any problems on the afflicted player.

  Running chkdsk is fine, even if he finds no problem.  It won't hurt anything to run it.

  Assuming your boot drive is C, run the following command:

  CHKDSK C: /r

  Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.

  It may take a long time for chkdsk complete or they seem to be "stuck".  Be patient.  If the HARD drive led blinks always, chkdsk is something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.

  You must run chkdsk/r again until it finds no error to correct.

  Remove the CD, and then type "exit" to exit the RC and restart the computer.

  You have not to set the BIOS to boot the disk HARD since the CD won't be.

  How to stop a program to open when I start my computer?

  I would check the following:

  1. The program has an option to stop from?
  2. Otherwise use Windows Defender to disable: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Stop-a-program-from-running-automatically-when-Windows-starts . If you cannot use Windows Defender because your antivirus turns off, you have to use the Configuration utility system; See: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Start-System-Configuration and http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Using-System-Configuration
  3. Some products start themselves in other ways. Http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902 Autoruns lists most of these places. This tool is designed for advanced users. Incorrect use can result in an unusable system. See: http://forum.sysinternals.com/what-to-uncheck-and-what-not_topic5226.html

• Stop programs from running automatically at startup in Vista

  Hello

  I need to stop a bunch of programs to run automatically when my computer starts. I have about four programs that I need not run unless I open them myself. Their icons are listed in my lower right. A technician told me to stop running and it would be useful to my computer work better. I don't see this option in the Manager of tasks under Vista. Is this another place where I can manage which starts and runs and this isn't?

  Thanks much for any help!

  Individual programs have preferences that you can access and prevents them from running on startup?  If you right-click on the icons in the Notification area are there similar options available?

  Otherwise you can disable them to load at startup via the tool MsConfig and his ' tab Statup.

  This utility, which has a knowledge of auto-starting locations of any startup monitor, shows you what programs configured to run at system startup or login and that the entries in the order of processing windows. These programs include those in your startup folder, Run, RunOnce, and other registry keys. You can configureAutoruns to show other locations, including Explorer shell, toolbar extensions, helper objects to the browser, Winlogon notifications, auto and many start-up services even more. Autoruns goes way beyond the MSConfig utility bundled with Windows Me and XP.
