I can not get internet explore and Microsoft word to stop the launch at startup.

I looked at through these programs and autorun boot are not listed.  I checked the configuration and that they are not and I checked AVG and they do not appear as startup items.  They are not in my Start menu.  How can I get these programs STOP opening on startup?  I don't even use internet Explorer - I simply downloaded it once and now it keeps opening.  I used Word once of many weeks ago, and now it opens each time.  How can I stop this from happening?

Hello Sarah133,

In addition to the information that Amara has provided, please look at the suggestions below.

You can check the boot in a few places by using MSCONFIG.
·       Click Start on your desktop
·       Type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.
If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on continue.
·       Go to the Startup tab. There are options to enable all or disable all or you can uncheck a particular program.
Check if WinWord is set to run at startup, if so, then uncheck the box.
Now, restart the computer and see if the word appears at the start of your computer.

You can also check the registry to see if it is set to run at startup.
Go to the Start button.
In the start search, type Regedit.

Change the settings of the REGISTRY can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the REGISTRY settings configuration can be solved. Changes to these settings are at your own risk. Please make a backup of ther registry before making any changes. Or you can create a system restore point.

Now, you place the following keys.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce

Hkey_current_user\\software\\microsoft\\windows\\currentversion\\run
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Runonce

If the word is in the list, then delete this registry entry only.

If please reply back and let us know if this helps with your question.

Thank you

  • Can I remove internet explore and use chrome instead?

    Can I remove internet explore and use chrome instead? That is, crashes, to stop, resarts and slows my computor. I installed Google Chrome and have had no more problems. It opens and closes when I want it and going to the Web pages as I type in without hesitation. I like windows 7, I only have a problem with Internet Explore. It also caused changes in my modem. I need to uninstall the software and reinstall to get it working again. IO would open that is and get a message that says "no internet access - check your settings, I thought it was a virus at some point. As soon as I started using Chrome, everything worked again. That is also caused problems with my printer and home network. I don't mind that is being stored in a file, I don't want to work and make changes to my computer I'm not an it expert by any means. I restored my pc to an earlier time and new conditions of factory several times in the past year (I bought the HP pc new in December 2010).

    It is not really a way to remove Internet Explorer.  I have not heard of the type of problems, you had with IE, but if you prefer Chrome and who works for you, all you need to do is to make Chrome the default browser.  I use Firefox and make it my default browser.  Once you make Chrome default you just leave Internet Explorer installed but it won't get used.  Following comes the site help Chrome and tells how to do it by default: http://support.google.com/chrome/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=95417

    Adobe Muse: Why I can not get my page to scroll vertically to display the content of the page in the browser preview?

    I am a novice and I do not talk about the web, so please excuse my ignorance!

    I content on my web pages in Muse design that descends below the visible window, but when I go to preview in browser, it only presents a preview which is visible in my window. Of course, I can press command + /, but I should be able to use my mouse wheel or my scroll bar to see the lowest content. I just can't understand how do! Is this something to do with the positions of Master Page header footer? They all look fine and normal and all the other sites I've done. In ADDITION, I checked non paged area (Mount table), and there is NO hidden content.

    I tried to move my content down (to 'wrong' it to enable vertical scrolling). I tried to move my foot higher than the content, but all useless page.

    Preview in browser = will just not scroll down.

    Hope it's a simple solution. Thanks in advance.

    See you soon,.

    I had the same problem and it took me almost 2 days to find a solution.

  • How can I get Internet Explorer on my installation of firefox?

    I tried to remove the internet Explorer and it always seems to be a .exe file, that I can't find to remove.

    I installed firefox and already put it as my browser default, cleared my cache and cookies of all things in the thing (most) IE. Still firefox comes first, followed by a resumption of full screen by MSN, with a banner at the top that says: "replace Firefox with Internet Explorer, its faster and safer.

    My choice is Firefox, I tried MSN and cannot stand the tabloid more. Please, help me.

    Thank you, Evelyn

    Sometimes a problem with Firefox can be a result of malware installed on your computer, you may not be aware of.

    You can try these free programs to search for malicious software that work with your existing anti-virus software:

    Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP, if you do not already have one.

    More information can be found in the article troubleshooting Firefox problems caused by malware .

    http://blogs.msdn.com/ieinternals/archive/2009/10/10/understanding-data-execution-prevention-crashes-in-IE8.aspx

    The problem might actually be an add-on or another program to the origin of the problem and you should check that
    1st.

    What antivirus/antispyware/security products do you have on the machine? Be one you have NEVER on it
    machines, including those that you have uninstalled (they leave leftovers behind which can cause strange problems).

    Start - all programs - Accessores - system tools - IE with no Addons - does this work better?

    IE - Tools - Internet Options - Advanced - tab click on restore, and then click Reset - apply / OK

    IE - Tools - Internet Options - Security - reset all Zones by default level - apply / OK

    not better?

    Close IE and try again IE or IE with no Addons

    IE - tools - manage Addons (for sure disable SSV2 if it is there, it is no longer necessary but Java always install
    "(and it causes problems - you never update Java to go back in and turn it off again)." Search for other possible problems.

    Windows Defender - tools - software explore - look for problems with programs that do not look right. Permit
    are usually OK and "unauthorized" are not always bad. If in doubt about a program to ask about it here.

    Could be that a BHO - BHOremover - free - standalone program, needs no installation, download and run - not all
    are bad, but some can cause your question. (Toolbars are BHO)

    I would add prevx so.

  • Password: can not get in line and my laptop will not accept my password

    yesterday morning I went online with no problems, but when I tried later in the day that my phone does not accept that my password so could not get online - tried again this morning without modification.

    Thank you Mick for your repl to my problem, the problem is I can't on line at all. I use now the phone my wife to try to get help.

    Eddie

    It has nothing to do with getting online with your computer.

    Use portable your wife to read, what you arereading here.

    Everything I told you to do it was to read what was at this link to try a ssolve your problem:

    If you can't do it, comsider reinstall Vista.

    If you are unable to connect to Windows 7 or Windows Vista, you can use the Windows Vista System Restore feature, or the Windows 7 system restore feature.

    You may be unable to connect to Windows Vista or Windows 7 in the following scenarios:

    • Scenario 1: You recently set a new password for the protected administrator account. However, you don't remember the password.
    • Scenario 2: You type the correct password. However, Windows Vista or Windows 7 does not accept the password because the system is damaged.
    • Scenario 3: You delete a protected administrator account. Now, you cannot connect to another administrator account.
    • Scenario 4: You change an administrator account protected with a standard user account. Now, you cannot connect to another administrator account.

    To use system restore to log on Windows 7 or Windows Vista when you lose access to an account, follow these steps.

    Note To do this, there must be a restore point from the system in which the connection was successful.

    1. Insert the Windows Vista or Windows 7 DVD, and restart the computer.
    2. When you receive the following message appears, press a key:
      Press any key to start from the CD or DVD.
    3. Set the following preferences and then click Next:
      • To install language
      • Time and currency formats
      • Keyboard or input method
    4. Click repair your computerand select the operating system you want to repair, and then clickNext.
    5. Click System Restore, and then click Next.
    6. Click on the food that you want to use, and then click Next.

      Note Click a restore point that will return the computer to a State where the connection is successful. After you use the system restore feature, reinstall all programs or updates that can be removed. You won't lose any personal documents. However, you may have to reinstall programs. You may also need to reset some personal settings.

    7. Confirm the disks that you want to restore, and then click Next.
    8. Click Finish, and then click Yes when you are prompted.
    9. When the system restore process is complete, click restart to restart the computer.
    10. Once the computer restarts, click close to confirm that the system restore process has finished successfully.
    11. Use an appropriate method to open a session. For example, log in using an older password, or log in using another computer account.

    After you connect, you must follow additional steps, depending on the scenario you encounter.

    Additional steps for scenario 1

    1. After you log on, change the password for the protected administrator account.
    2. After you change the password, restart the computer. Make sure that you can connect by using the new password.

    Additional steps for scenario 2

    1. After you log on, make sure that each user account can log in using the appropriate credentials.
    2. Change the password for the user account that cannot log on.

    Additional steps for scenario 3

    1. After you log on, use the element user accounts in Control Panel to create a new protected administrator account.
    2. Log in using the new protected administrator account. Then delete the older protected administrator account which has been restored.

      Note For security reasons, do not use the restored protected administrator account.

    Additional steps for scenario 4

    1. After you log on, use the element user accounts in Control Panel to create a new protected administrator account.
    2. Log in using the new protected administrator account.
    3. Change the old administrator account protected with a standard user account.
