Is there something available for disabling startup programs, similar to the utility of Windows Defender?

Windows Defender had a utility called "Software Explorer", with which you could disable some programs that start with Windows.

is there something similar that does the same work?

You can manage Windows startup items by following these steps:

1) click the Windows Start button
2) click on Run
(3) type msconfig in the field
4) click on the Startup tab
(5) uncheck the items you want to start with Windows.

Note: You can also type msconfig in the search of Windows box.

I hope this helps.

  • Why my application is not available for download through App World on the Playbook?

    Hello

    I wonder if anyone can help me how I can get my app - "Downtown Livermore' (http://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/content/reviews/43728?lang=en) available for download on App world on the Playbook. It is available on Blackberry phones, but not on the playbook. I can't find an option to make

    available on the Playbook. Where can I configure that? I need to create a presentation of the new?

    When you create the new version, you must download the Playbook (.bar) bundle and to specify that this bundle will support the Tablet (as a platform). I believe you can download simultaneously bundle for smartphones and bundle for Playbook, however you can not change the existing version and add beams. So I would say to create a new version and download the two beams.

    Another option would be to create a new application called 'Your-app-name for Playbook', some developers prefer to do.

    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...

    http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx

    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.

    Apple artist left behind years ago. Why these new mobile applications are only available in ios? I use a Tablet much more sophisticated than your dad's iPad. My Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 has more than 1000 points of pressure sensitivity and was built with Wacom technology for the artist, but first artist programs don't release them these mobile applications to the apple app format?

    Even the Evangelist using windows based operating systems in 90% of the videos I watch on; line of Adobe, so why are still claim us Apple is the only platform that is important, leaving many serious artists out in the cold? Download these apps on the store of Google game as soon as POSSIBLE, please.

  • I was wondering if I'm looking for something which exists not-firefox can automatically close the "Print preview" window after printing?

    I use the addon in my firefox toolbar to print an excerpt from the data of the Web site and then add it to a pdf file. Sometimes I'm distracted, then do not remember if I went through the process and print/added the page in the file. It would be useful if there was a way that the print preview window closes after printing which confirms that the process is complete. Thanks in advance.

    You're right: print preview remains open until the licensee. As a person who is regularly using the ESC key to dismiss dialog boxes, I had not really noticed an extra step.

    After a little research, it triggered a few times over the years (at least 2 identified bugs) but one was rejected immediately and the other has not attracted a serious debate since it was filed in 2006. I think that there are no secret switch in the software to do this.

  • I would like a more efficient sorting for organizing files, a similar to the options available via EXCEL. I want to sort the files from Windows 7 Desktop AND type update...

    I would like to apply a more efficient to organize the display of files, a similar to the options available via EXCEL.  I want to sort the files of desktop Windows 7 by type AND update... looks like it would be a logical way to view the files.  Currently, I can do one or the other.  Sort by modified date provides a hodgepodge of file types, sort by type will not most recently changed... organize a hodgepodge of dates.  You wonder why I felt it necessary to ask this... seems to be a simple and logical option which would already be available.  Is it?  If so, how can we do this?

    I don't know where you see all sort in excel. The file > open in excel procedure uses this same kind as provided by the Explorer (its Explorer discovers Documents)

    The view in excel is obviously filtered to Excel docs.

    This looks like a problem with the garbage collection (GC).

    • Report of 31.0 Firefox Crash [@ JS::Handle < JSObject * >: operator JSObject * const & ()]

    These questions are usually not easy to diagnose.

    Start the computer in Mode safe mode with network support Windows (on the startup screen, press F8) as a test.

    Make a check of malware with several malware scanning of programs on the Windows computer.
    Please scan with all programs, because each program detects a different malicious program.
    All of these programs have free versions.

    Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before scanning.

    Alternatively, you can write a check for an infection rootkit TDSSKiller.
