  • Prevent Autostart molten - once

    I have a virtual machine that is configured so that it starts automatically when you launch VMware Fusion. It's exactly what I want most of the time.

    There are rare times when I want to launch the VMware Fusion application, but I don't want him to start the virtual machines, even those labeled 'start automatically when VMware Fusion launches' enabled in general settings.


    Is this something simple (for example, hold down a modifier key) to say VMware Fusion is not to perform an automatic start on this one launch only? (... but perform an automatic start to all the other times...)

    I had hoped to find 'official' documentation and avoid the error test, but no luck. I ran some tests this morning and found the answer.

    Answer:

    If you hold down the SHIFT key when you launch VMware Fusion application, VMware Fusion will not start any guest OS, even those who are set to "start automatically".

  • How can I prevent videos automatically start when I load a web site?

    Recently web sites have begun to show me not only the first shot a video, but from the video automatically when the page is loaded (or when I scroll down to the part of the page where the video). This happens on sites of news (nytimes.com), facebook and other places. How can I prevent Autostart from happening?

    I've got AdBlockPlus and NoScript activated, even though I have many sites NoScript whitelist. Videos to wait for me to click an arrow in the middle (like a "play" button) to start; some still do, but most don't. (I think an add-on is responsible for the play button, but I don't remember which).

    Any suggestions?
    Thank you.

  • Task Scheduler... What are these tasks and that they planned?

    Initially, MSE does scan automatically as I had planned that he... .and then there is two days, he stopped. I have switched between the options [run while you are logged in, but not using it]... and makes no diff.

    Then... I looked around and stumbled upon Task Scheduler (that I used to twist a lot during my years XP) and was stunned to see 15 tasks scheduled to run on different times and different triggers... indefinitely. I don't know any of them, and I did not had everything, or the other. I noticed that I slowed down when he was running. Then I disabled all.

    48 hours later, my PC doesn't seem different (I expect event catastrophic/s)... MSE is still running is not on calendar (which is quite ok with me, because I decided that I would really rather run it when I want).

    Question: What are these tasks and why they operate indefinitely?... .and that at the request of their? And why disabling does not seem to matter? MSE is responsible for any of them?

    BTW, registration of WMC would prevent Autostart MSE? (Because on the two failed retirements, WMC has arrived to save)

    Hi Coolnewyorker,

    Your question on "that them regular '-the answer is Microsoft.

    Scheduled tasks, include the restoration of the system, Defragmenter to Windows, Windows troubleshooting, Windows Customer Experience. You will also find tasks to check the health of your PC. It's to name a few.

    With regard to disabling them does not make any difference, you might find that not much, if anything, is actually scheduled for work when you really are on your PC. In many cases, most schedules run at about 02:00 or, in the case of everything Microsoft has planned on my machine, it does not at all simply because my system is stopped when the majority of demand is demand - or at least it used to be. Systematically, I went through them and changed the time when I was online so that information to Microsoft are downloaded - for example files that are created when the PC crashes etc.

    About MSE, as most of the applications that run on a schedule, there is a strong dependence on the PC being idle for many minutes before the start of the schedule. If you are running another program, such as WMC in record, the system is not idle, it's registration; so, Yes, WMC record could affect the operation of MSE.

    Windows Live Messenger is an independent product supported by the Portal of Messenger to Windows Live Support Center.   FWIW, I would try to find an icon for it in the Notification bar to the taskbar, which do a right-click and choose Exit before you shut down your computer to avoid this symptom.

  • How can I prevent certain programs to autostart on start my computer

    Several recently installed programs starting now opens automatically, thereby extending the time of start-up.  How can I delete them so that I can access from the desktop or the menu 'start '?

    Several recently installed programs starting now opens automatically, thereby extending the time of start-up.  How can I delete them so that I can access from the desktop or the menu 'start '?

    My personal opinion is that the attention that many people pay for how long it takes to start is not justified. Assuming that the speed of the computer is otherwise satisfactory, it is generally not worry. Most people start their computer once a day or even less frequently. In the overall scheme of things, even a few minutes at the start is not very important. Personally I power my computer when I get up in the morning, then go get my coffee. When I come back, he did start. I don't know how long it took to start and I do not.

    However, if you don't want to solve it, maybe it's because this programs to start automatically, and you can stop some of them to start this way. On each program, you don't want to automatically start, check its Options to see if she has the choice to not start (make sure that you actually choose to not run, not simply a "don't display the icon" option). Many can easily and better be arrested like that. If this does not work, run MSCONFIG from the start. Run the line and on the Startup tab, uncheck the programs that you do not want to automatically start.

    However, if I were you, I wouldn't do this just for the purpose of the minimum number of running programs. Despite what a lot of people tell you, you should be concerned, not with the way * a lot * of these programs you run, but * that *. Some of them can seriously affect the performance, but others have no effect on performance.

    Don't stop all programs to run willy-nilly. What you need to do is to determine what each program is that its value is for you and what the performance cost is running all the time. You can get more information on the latter with research on the internet and ask questions about the details here.

    Once you have this information, you can make a smart informed decision on what you want to keep and what you want to get rid of.

  • Webcam freezes using MS messenger on Equium U400-145

    Hi guys

    Can someone help me please...

    I have problems with my built in chicony camera on my laptop U400-145 Finalis.
    I've only had the laptop for a little more than a month and iv of the big problems with it.

    Whenever I use my webcam in a chat in msn Messenger, if its one-way or two-way camera guard and then freezing me start off internet after a minute or two.

    I'm really frustrated with it.
    I tried to sort out but what he we try fails, the Toshiba Support Center (techguys)
    I uninstalled the webcam and reinstalled. I made a diagnosis of memory which came back fine and also through assistance from the techguys deleted and reinstalled the HARD drive.

    This has not solved the problem.
    I connect to the internet via a wireless router - the problem might be there although I never had this problem with my previous laptop via the router.

    Please can someone help before I have throw the laptop out the window!

    Thank you
    Shaz

    Hello

    If you are using Vista OS you must make sure that Vista SP1 has been installed.
    Please also make sure that other Vista patches are also installed.

    Also I would recommend deleting and disabling the webcam and the MSM in msconfig-> startup
    This will prevent the MSN software and webcam of automatic loading during startup.
    Again, restart the laptop.

    You could try to repair and clean the operating system using the CCLeaner. The software repairs the registry and other files. It is perhaps useful to s.

    If you want to use the MSM and the webcam then first start the MSM, then the webcam software. If this will not stop the gel then try to first start the webcam, then the MSM

    In my opinion the MSM affects the webcam and the MSM is responsible for this problem.

  • Windows Messenger appears in Sys tray, but it is not installed

    The subject line pretty much captures the issue. From Add/Remove Programs-> Windows components, it is clear that Windows Messenger is not checked and therefore SHOULD not be installed on startup, even it it is in the system tray.

    System:

    Sony Vaio w / Intel Pentium

    WinXP w/SP3 and all updates

    Messenger does not exist in Program files, or anywhere in the start menu for that matter. To open it from the Systray and go through all the Options, I can't find any switch to prevent it from running.

    Use the Regedit and deleted under HKLM/software/microsoft/currentversion/run.

    Messenger out of the Systray and removed Messenger Program Files folder.
