Stop Auto loading software.

You had a program called Software Explorer, which would prevent programs such as aol to load on its own. You still have this program for download.

Software Explorer is allegedly part of Windows Defender.

IMO, Windows Defender is one of the lighter pieces, weakest and most powerless of the software, you can install on your system and appear to no longer be supported:

  • Windows Defender no longer supports Windows 2000 because it is out of standard support in June 2005. Please visit the support Web site of the lifecycle for more information.


If you need are looking for a Boot Manager help control your startup applications, you can find a lot of use something like Google to search:

XP boot manager

Here are a few third-party applications popular that include a Boot Manager, and sometimes other things to keep your system nice and tidy:

http://www.Piriform.com/CCleaner
http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902
http://www.MLIN.NET/StartupCPL.shtml
http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/strun.html

When people are complaining about their system performance or he take their system too long to start (mine take 22.06.021 seconds), I like to have them use CCleaner and they can save a copy of all their items from start-up to a text file and send it to me or post here, so I can look and see what startup items they can probably not without.  I'm all about performance!

For the most part, you just disable the startup items, reboot and see what things look like and then you can decide if you want to leave this option disabled, re-enable it or just remove it completely.

Note that XP includes the msconfig (start, run, msconfig, OK) application that is NOT a Boot Manager: this is a troubleshooting tool that is often abused as a Boot Manager.

  • Stop Auto-loading that I type in the address bar.

    Today, I realized that if I pasted the text in the location bar, it automatically does a search via Google. I tried to stop this behavior, so I looked into it. I ended up trying to change keyword.enabled from true to false. He did not take what I wanted. Now whenever I type in the address bar that Firefox opens not only a drop to the low menu suggestions charge but immediately one closest with each character typed. I need to get back to where I started and be able to type in the address bar without loading any page. I tried switching keyword.enabled back, but the browser will not stop this new behavior.

    Too bad. It was an option for an add-on I use to count the words on a Web page. I didn't know that instant search is part of the add-on.

  • Stop auto play of video in Safari on the Sierra?

    I upgraded to Sierra and I used to be able to use a fantastic extension called ClickToFlash, which would replace all the Flash on a web page with a white window and I would click above to load the Flash content.

    This extension does not work on Sierra I am looking for an alternative.

    In my view, there ClickToPlugin but after installing it, YouTube videos are all black screens and I do not see the drop down choices of media. So it seems that it is watered.

    I can't use Safari if I can't stop Auto playing every single video on each web page. Anyone know anything else?

    Thank you!

    He can still work... try this.

    Open system preferences > Flash Player and select the Advanced tab, and then click clear all under settings and navigation data.

    Then quit and relaunch Safari and then test ClickToFlash.

  • Phone stops random load

    Hello everyone.

    I got my Z3 2 months ago. I had no problem before recharge, it is used to load fine, but after 3 weeks, he began acting strange during the loading process. Even if the phone is connected fine, phone for a few minutes then stops to load again. The charging light turns off and when I check the phone, theres no load signal. But sometimes it charges very well without disconnecting. I thought it was the problem with my charger and I tried 2 more new Chargers and its still the same. I was running 4.4.4 when this problem occurred while I was maybe guess it is software related issue. I've updated to 5.1.1 but the problem persists. I am using the USB cable for charging. It happens with wall support and PC support, I even tried the factory reset but no luck. I do not charge wireless or a loading dock, use only the USB cable.

    Anyone has the same problem? I would be grateful if someone can help me with it. And I'm sorry if it's a bad section to ask something like that.

    Hi sjns19,

    It takes about 2,30-3 hours to fully charge a device, but it seems as if he's running much faster if the unit is say fresh 10% or less. A device getting warm during charging is normal, however you use a charger laptop Sony or third party?

    Thanks for any help.

    If it's the windows index service you can turn it off via the admin tools Control Panel.
     
    If it's a third party indexing service, you may need to disable the program by clicking on the Start button > run > msconfig > Startup tab

  • Windows 8 - How can I stop Auto Select mouse

    I recently bought a new laptop with Windows 8. I can't understand how to stop auto mouse clicking on everything I could hover over too long. I checked the settings and checked for double click, but it still happens. What else could be the cause?

    Thank you!

    Ed, I found this one.
    Control Panel/All Control Panel Items and mouse

    in the window that opens scroll down to 'Activate edge scans' and uncheck the box, click on 'apply '.
    I'm sure that's where you used to be able to disable the auto click in Windows 7, but as I said in my response to Mohammad, of course the heads of Geek decided it wasn't a pretty difficult place to hide the option to disable this annoying option so they hid somewhere else or got rid of him quite... probably because some head geek has wet dreams more Click Automatic and agreed everyone should enjoy it as well as he does.
