I'm aware of that. But even when we follow the path the "program" isn't necessarily THERE. Many can't be disabled from finding them and looking at their properties window. It would be very unusual to find startup options in a program's properties sheets. It's one of the places that you can check for clues about what a program is. If you can figure out that, you might be able to figure out what the program does. And from there, you decide if you want it in startup or not. If you want to disable it, open main program window and look for menus that control startup behavior If no options found, then start tracking down where the command is that is loading the program (registry or startup folder) and disable there. Or use a program that helps you to manage startup items like MSCONFIG, Startup Cop, etc. -- Sharon F MS-MVP ~ Windows Shell/User |

Did you read what I wrote? I spent a long time writing it out. You're very close to "getting it" but are skipping on details and getting confused. That item (the one that you put an arrow next to) is the location where the Norton item (right above the line with the arrow) is being loaded from. If you weren't able to disable this startup item via Norton's menus, you could accomplish the same thing by deleting the relevant registry key that mentions navap32.exe. ====================== OK,.. Gotcha this time! FS~ |
