Start-up

[John Dickerson]

I recently installed a program, that automatically runs
at start-up. How do I remove it so that it no longer
automaticall runs on start-up, but only when I start it?

Remove the program from your startup settings. Applications that start
with Windows can be found here:
- the WIN.INI, section [windows], entries "run=" and "load="
- the Registry keys
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\RunServices
- the folders
C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\ALL USERS\START MENU\PROGRAMS\STARTUP
C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\{username}\START MENU\PROGRAMS\STARTUP

Hi Thorsten,

This isn't a part of the XP Win.ini:
>WIN.INI, section [windows], entries "run=" and "load="

In the registry here there is a load but not run:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows
