• How to stop programs that run automatically at startup?

  Hi I just wanted to know how to stop programs from running automatically at startup, I already ran msconfig and disabled programs that I don't want to run at startup and it always automatically start also on msconfig, it indicates the applications that I don't want to run at startup is disabled and it always runs at startup. The programs that I don't want to run at startup are tom tom home and bbc iplayer desktop, but he always runs at startup.

  One other thing is when I install new programs, that they automatically run at startup without my permission.

  Palcouk did preferred proposals. Another way to identify which loads when you start using Autoruns (freeware from Microsoft).
  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902

  With Autoruns, you can deselect an item which disables startup, or you can click with the right button on an item, then remove it. If you clear the check box that you can check back for re - activate the element. It is an approach much safer than editing the registry and better than using msconfig.

  A useful feature of the program is that you can click with the right button on an item and select search online to get information about the selected item.

• How can I stop programs@from running in the background?

  programs - I never userun in the background as institutional calendar. I would like to launch a clean background and a sleek office. Is ok to ermanently remove apps / programs I not have access? or better yet I can remove the icon without deleting the program I talk about these programs preinstalled. latter case your room for answerng this - what is the diffrence between apps widgets n programs on the droid.

  I'm sorry it explained not completely. I will try. Default apps cannot be uninstalled or removed. You can go into management applications in the settings and force closes, but it can start up if the operating system decides that she needs. There is an application that will allow you to hide the icons, but I don't remember the name. I don't know of a setting in the calendar application to prevent it from running. You might want to make sure that it is not set to automatically synchronize. This could be the reason why he is running. So the only way I know to keep them from running in the background is using a task killer, so the answer is always the same. I hope that I have cleared it up a little bit.

  Hi camolentot,
  For a programme of work, it must be started. Programs are started in three ways.
  1. the first is if actually start you yourself by throwing it
  2. the second way is for other programs start another program.
  3. the third way is a program be configured to start automatically when the operating system starts. The type of programs that start through the third way are what we call the Windows startup programs
  The third type programs can be of the following types.
  * Some programs are needed for the operating system to operate correctly
  * Some programs, it is not necessary to run as it can be launched if necessary.
  You can change the programs such as messengers or software that you think that it is not necessary to run at the beginning. But it's not good tweaking all train backup software or security data. Its better to take help among people with knowledge about this program before tweaking start-up businesses.
  Tweaking unnecessary startups can speed up your PC. But tweaking bad programs\services can cause problems too.

  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.

• Defender error 0 x 80070424 with "Stop a program from running at startup."

  With Vista, I get Defender error 0 x 80070424 when I click on ' default programs: stop a program from running at startup. "  How can I make changes to startup?

  Hello

  If you use Norton, AVG, Avira, Microsoft Security Essentials, McAfee, etc. the default action is for Windows Defender must be disabled, that these AntiVirus programs have their own Antispyware Applications.

  There is nothing to worry.

  Using both programs at the same time can cause system conflicts, etc.

  @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

  To now change the Vista startup programs without using Defender, use one of these methods:

  "How to use MSCONFIG in Windows Vista"

  http://netsquirrel.com/Msconfig/msconfig_vista.html

  Or the program Autoruns for FREE:

• How can I stop CHKDSK from running on startup?

  CHKDSK turned on somehow and now every time I start my Pc it runs this program.  It is on my hard drive and takes a long time to startup!  How can I stop the program from running at startup?

  The next time your system starts and installs, you should check the bit of impurity of the volume as follows:

  Click Start, run and enter in the box:

  cmd

  Click OK to open the command prompt window.

  To query the bit of impurity on drive C, type:

  fsutil dirty query C:

  The sample output:
  Volume c is dirty
  Volume C: is dirty

  Type "exit" to close the command prompt window.

  Is your disc dirty or it is not dirty?    If you have more than one volume, check all out them.

  A volume is marked usually dirty of a power outage or something like using the power button to restart the system.  One of this kind of thing has happened before this problem?

  The command chkntfs /d to clear a chkdsk waiting you plan yourself, but it does not clear the dirty bit.

  The command chkntfs /X C: never say XP check the reader for inconsistencies again and perhaps not a good idea since the reader may really need that chkdsk to run on it.  If the dirty bit is just NOT clear, no matter what you do, your HARD disk may be failing / failed.

  The only way to clear the dirty bit is a success of chkdsk /r and if she will not clear at the start of your system, I would run it from the XP Recovery Console so you can watch it run and if you like, run it again until it runs its own.  You cannot check the good bit of impurity of the XP Recovery Console, but you can see what chkdsk/r.

  Since we don't know anything about your system, here are some instructions for making a CD of bootable XP Recovery Console and from there, you can run chkdsk/r until it comes clean.

  Boot into the Recovery Console Windows using an XP bootable installation CD.

  If you have no XP bootable media (or aren't sure you have) create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and do not forget.

  This is not the same as recovery disks that might have come with the acquisition of the system store.

  You can make a bootable Recovery Console CD by downloading an ISO file and burn it to a CD.

  The ISO bootable image file you need to download is called:

  xp_rec_con. ISO

  Download the ISO from here:

  http://www.mediafire.com/?ueyyzfymmig

  Use a new CD and this simple and free program to burn your ISO file and create your bootable CD:

  http://www.ImgBurn.com/

  When you install ImgBurn, DO NOT install the Ask toolbar.

  Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:

  http://Forum.ImgBurn.com/index.php?showtopic=61

  It would be a good idea to test your bootable CD on a computer running.

  You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.  These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

  When you start on the CD, follow the instructions:

  Press any key to boot from CD...

  Installing Windows... going to pronounce.

  Press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console.

  Select the installation that you want to access (usually 1: C:\WINDOWS)

  You may be asked to enter the password (usually empty).

  You should be in the folder C:\WINDOWS.  It's the same as the

  C:\Windows folder that you see in Solution Explorer.

  The Recovery Console allows base as file commands: copy, rename, replace, delete, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, cd, etc.

  For a list of the commands in the Recovery Console, type help at the prompt of commands or read on here XP Recovery Console:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/recovery_console_cmds.mspx?mfr=true

  A good idea before you start things must first verify the integrity of your file system by using the chkdsk command.

  In the command prompt window, run the chkdsk command on the drive where Windows is installed to try to fix any problems on the afflicted player.

  Running chkdsk is fine, even if he finds no problem.  It won't hurt anything to run it.

  Assuming your boot drive is C, run the following command:

  CHKDSK C: /r

  Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.

  It may take a long time for chkdsk complete or they seem to be "stuck".  Be patient.  If the HARD drive led blinks always, chkdsk is something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.

  You must run chkdsk/r again until it finds no error to correct.

  Remove the CD, and then type "exit" to exit the RC and restart the computer.

  You have not to set the BIOS to boot the disk HARD since the CD won't be.

• Remove some programs from running at startup

  How can I remove some programs from running at startup? for example, Super Anti Spyware, automatically runs on startup and is listed in the lower right corner of my desk drawer, but it really slows my time to go on the internet. I only have access if necessary.

  You can click on start > run > msconfig

  then under the Startup tab, you will find a list of programs that launch at startup of windows.   they are activated by a check mark.

  In addition, you can check the services through the services tab.

  Select / check "hide microsoft services" and then what remains on the revised list are non-microsoft programs you have added to the system and are also expected to start automatically.

  don't forget to click 'apply' for the changes you make and then restart to see the effects.
