Windows Internet Explorer opens automatically at startup of the Facebook page

I use Windows Vista Home Premium software on a Gateway computer. For some reason any start-up, my Windows Internet Explorer is automatically upwards, and there a Web Facebook.com page already on the screen asking you to sign up for Facebook. It flashes at the bottom of my screen until I click on it. I don't want no internet will automatically launch and I want either of Facebook. How can I keep internet start automatically without my even clicking on it? Thanks for the help.

Dear Rachel,

Please, try the following steps.

(1) check that the homepage of your Internet Explorer is not "facebook.com" - could be found under Tools-> Internet Options-> general, in the section "Home Page." If you do not have "facebook.com" written there, replace it with another site that you want to load when you start your browser or with "subject: empty ' If you just want a blank window is displayed when you run your browser.

(2) on your Start menu, choose programs-> startup programs list. If "Internet Explorer" is in the list, just simply delete.

((3) if (2)) does not help, try running 'msconfig' (choose Run from the Start Menu and just type "msconfig" in the window that appears), go to "Startup" and uncheck a box near point "Windows Internet Explorer".

I hope this helps!

  • Internet explore open Photoshop help when using the color picker

    Hello. In PS CS4 and XP.

    Half of the time I use the color picker in Photoshop suddenly IE is opened using Photoshop in a separate window. I'm clicking on something? What I seem to be clicking on the box of color ranges is in the color picker. It's just very annoying. Was wondering if anyone had this problem? I thought that using Photoshop was supposed to open if you click on the Photoshop eye on the toolbar, which is not in CS4.

    It has been seen from time to time.  This may indicate corruption in the memory space of Photoshop.  If I were you, I would immediately save my work and close Photoshop if you do this.

    Some things to try to prevent it from happening:

    • Update your video driver on the web site of the manufacturer of your video card.
    • Set up the OpenGL drawing to turn off advanced drawing and vertical sync.
    • Examine your 3rd party plug-ins, delete the ones you don't need and seek versions updates to those that you use.

    Good luck to get to the bottom of this.

  • BlackBerry Software windows explore opens automatically to display the volumes

    When I connect (usb or wireless) my BB 10 phone to my computer, Windows Explorer opens automatically to display the contents of the S/D card and the device. How can I disable auto open to explore?

    UH... I don't know any way for volumes of BB to the card and display without the running Device Manager. You may have a few weird things configured on your computer, deleting things from appearing in the system tray? Very strange... is the desktop running software? When it is, and the device is connected, the device manager must run.

    If you really can't find it, you will need to uninstall and reinstall the Desktop software and try again, this time not to select this option as you go.

    Since then the new e-mail window does not open automatically when I seek to determine the folders and decide to do a right click on a file and select: SEND TO, and then select: RECIPIENT of the MESSAGE. Thunderbird only opens, but that's all.

    Other programs that is also used to automatically open the new e-mail with an attachment, window does not work either.

    Previously a window writing a new Email automatically open with the file selected, attached, followed by Thunderbird opening.

    How can I get this behavior again.
