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 restore my tabs and windows, open or closed, when all else fails?

    It's not so much a question, an answer that some people desperately need.

    Since the Version 34, Firefox has done a superb job to restore the tabs created by the user, application or restart Firefox (if this option is chosen).

    The details of how to restore the tabs are covered using base online and even Firefox how to deal with several accidents now (for example, as an addon) ruin the normal backup file are also well explained.

    However, today I accidentally pressed Alt + F4 twice on my keyboard ill-conceived and closed my main window, with 93 tabs and another window of Firefox as well. I'm not sure that's exactly what happened, but I lost all my tabs 93.

    I read a lot of posts where people give suggestions, but none worked. Whenever I've restored a sessionstore.js file version saw the same lonely empty tab Restoring prefs.js did nothing, and not more than to changes in internal configuration constants.

    I tried refreshing / reset Firefox (which preserves the bookmarks), but I couldn't always restore the tabs. It was now clear that the problem was in sessionstore.js (and all its backups) for sure.

    I write for people who must restore their windows or tabs and don't mind be technical on this subject. This is my situation.

    The solution was to realize that the sessionstore.js file contains the JSON code, which is an effective way to represent integers and strings arranged in a tree structure.

    I thought that there must be a JSON Editor somewhere and it turns out there is a great available online, at www.jsoneditoronline.org . It can read a file on your computer, edit it, then save it to your computer.

    As soon as I read sessionstore.js in the editor, it was obvious, easy how this was going to be. The top level of the tree is understandable. Simply, I grabbed the data representing the window with 93 tabs and dragged in the list of the closed windows of Firefox in the list of open windows. This automatically moved the history of each tab and even strings entered in forms.

    After copying sessionstore.js to Firefox profile, I started Firefox once more. Reading Pandora reported that my tabs were back and running once more.

    Now, change the JSON code isn't something that everyone is ready for. And your problem may not be reflected in the JSON tree so simply. But, for the technical spirit of people who do not want to lose their tabs or windows to a mistake or an accident, this technique may be just what it takes when all else fails.

    This seems very practical. Make itself comfortable. A kind of backup would be
    Create a folder in the Bookmarks Manager and make a list of links here.

    Just a note. The sessionstore file shows the last windows / tabs that
    are open. Because the window with 90 tabs has been closed in the first place, then the
    other, that's what caused the problem.

    Please change the title of the post by adding == solved == to it. Others may think
    you ask for help, not offering is not a solution.

  • How to stop the title bar and border of blinking/flashing in Windows 8 Pro?

    Regardless of what is or is not running. A (desktop) application or a program/process of Windows (File Explorer) and it is just down right annoying when watching TV in Media Center. If the 'window' is not full screen or reduced to a minimum and some downtime on the keyboard or the mouse is detected the 'top' window title bar and border blink and get progressively faster and more annoying. This is the top of the window. Why must he beg for attention? And how it stop! In addition, and I'm not sure that this is relevant, but the mouse pointer has a circle flashing next to her all the time. A judgment that would be nice too.

    I think I found a solution to this title bar and border blinks problem. I have a same problem and experienced looking in msconfig, click on the service tab and hide Microsoft. I would try disabling the brand of computer like HP, Dell, Toshiba, etc. I did for my HP laptop and disable its manufacturer, then restart, and the title bar and border do not Flash. We hope that the work plan.

    Open the Registry Editor and navigate to the following key.

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

    In the right window, look at the Shell value.

    This value should show Explorer.exe and nothuing else.

    If it shows than anything else, right-click the Shell value and select modify.

    Delete everything in the value data area except  Explorer.exe.

    Click OK.

    If you have made any changes, restart and test the results.

    NOTE: Make sure that you do not delete the Explorer.exe in the value of the hull, since it is responsible for displaying the interface of windows when you start the computer.

    If it does not, when you start the computer and the desktop folder pops up, look at the path in the address bar to this folder. Click on an empty spot in the address bar and copy / paste this path into an answer here.

  • How to stop a vi running and always keep its vi reference valid

    Hi all

    I open a vi reference and need to dynamically execute and stop this vi. Problem is after I use the 'Abort Vi' method to stop it, his reference is no longer valid and I need to reopen the next time I want to run it.

    Is there a way to stop the vi running and always keep its vi reference valid?  While the next time I may use the method "RunVI" to run it and do not need to reopen it.

    Thank you.

    Ben, I think he's talking about the VI Abort METHOD, not the button abandon.  I wrote a small example using run a VI, waiting, VI an abortion, then run a VI again, and it worked.  The reference did not become invalid.  You must make sure to wire a constant false entry Auto has the method to execute a VI.
