stopping a program form auto lance or even from auto-start

I don't know how to stop an automatic launch or block a part of auto start when programs start in the system put in place. Can you help me?

Hello oldestbottle,

Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.

The easy way in Windows Vista to display startup items, go to the Control Panel, programs and use Windows Defender to display under the Software Explorer startup items.
Click change startup programs. This will display the list of programs, you can change and remove the starter.
To determine if an item is needed or not, you can select the item, and then click on disable.

You can also use msconfig to remove the startup items.
·       Click Start on your desktop
·       Type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.
If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on continue.
Click the Startup tab, and you can uncheck the items you want to no longer start.

I hope this helps answer your question.

Thank you, Marilyn

  • Disable auto-start for CF8 on Leopard

    I installed ColdFusion 8.0.1 (multiserver) on OS 10.5.2 and chose to start when the system starts. I want to be able to stop ColdFusion and disable auto-start if I need in the future. I downloaded several times, but I don't know what inputs to be used repeatedly for ColdFusion (or even if I have to use Lingon at all). Can someone tell me how to control if ColdFusion starts at startup and how to manually stop ColdFusion on Leopard? Thank you!

    UPDATE: I found, I can stop ColdFusion using the "ColdFusion Launcher" in the JRun4 folder, but I have not yet found a way to keep ColdFusion from starting when the system boots. I tried to uninstall ColdFusion and then re - install and de-selection of the option to start ColdFusion when the system starts, but ColdFusion is still running at startup. I see no Lignon launchd config and nothing in the login items, so I don't know how ColdFusion is underway (and how to stop it).

    Hello
    You can go ahead and remove the boot file located in/Library/StartupItems/ColdFusion8Multi (for multiserver) and/Library/StartupItems/ColdFusion8 (for independent). This should solve your problem.

    Thank you

    First of all, note that you should be in * all * the programs that start automatically, not only with those who are in the system tray. Not all the programs auto-start manifesting by an icon in the status bar.

    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 try searching 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.

  • Please help me stop my program when n gets to 15

    Hey guys

    After collecting a lot of suggestiong from you, im almost done with my vi.

    I need one more thing, I have not been able to do. I have a counter on my vi (that of the FOR LOOP) which will take place from 1 to 15 and start again. I need my vi to stop completely when this counter gets to 15. I tried a while loop that compares the counter to 15 and returns a Boolean value to stop the program, but I couldn't make it work.

    Here's a zip with my vi file and a measure to test. I'd really appreciate it if someone could help me with this simple question.

    Thank you!

    You must still click run on the toolbar, unless you set the properties to automatically run the opening.

    You can create a part of the initialization of your program (maybe 1 frame of a sequence of flat, while your current code is in the following image) which defines the controls using local variables to anything you want.  You can also create a while loop with a small wait instruction that ends when the button "front run" is pressed, and then follow the rest of your code.  A structure of the event would be a choice even better.

    I know that this is a very easy solution, but I can't seem to find it.

    I have two cases of the event in a while loop. I worked previously with the case of an event, so I placed the button stop in the case of the event. However if I have 2 cases of the event can't place the button stop in one of them so, how can I stop the program then?

    If the stop button is outside of the case that the program will not stop.

  • How to stop a program

    Hello

    I build a LabView LabView 2011 program to control experience. The entire program is contained in a stacked sequence and this sequence is maintained within a driving main while loop. This hand while the loop is controlled by a Stop button, which is associated with, a local variable and in my intentions, stop buttons and the associated local variable of were intended to stop the program at different points during execution.

    Now the way that program is built the button stop of course never actually stops execution of the program, because as the main while loop contains the entire program, the stop button, which is the first iteration of the false status, will never change its status to 'true' before the first iteration, it is the whole of the program, is completed. So I know the reason why I am not able to stop my program, but I don't know how to fix this. I read that queues, events or notifiers might solve my problem, but I have no idea how to use.

    Can someone help me with this please?

    Thank you very much

    It is one of the main reasons for not to use the structures of the sequence.  I think that a State Machine is what you really want.  In this way, you can stop the program at any time.
