Starting Windows XP

When I start-up my computer, so many things are running in the background. I don't know what they are. I do know that I do not want some of them to run/open, such as Kodak EasyShare or Money Express. How can I remove them from the start-up sequence?

Also, can I order the sequence of the start-up? For example, my computer opens AIM and MSN Messenger BEFORE it opens Norton System Works. I think it is safer to have the NAV active before I open these 2 areas. Am I right? How is it done?

Thanks

While you can force a program not to load via MSCONFIG, many programs have
menus in the main program that allow you to configure their startup
behavior. If the option is available, I prefer to disable the program from
this location.

As for the order of loading programs, there is no way that I know of to
control this. May want to disable the automatic startup of AIM and
Messenger. After NAV has loaded, start the programs manually. Shortcuts for
both messaging programs in the Quick Launch toolbar would help to make this
workaround a bit more convenient.

noone is mentioning that using msconfig gives you the option of Normal
startup and also selective startup--if you uncheck items in the startup tab
under normal startup they will restart when you load Windows the next time.
You can use Selective startup and remove the tick marks from programs you do
not want to start--you will then get a display stating you have changed the
start process and you then decide if you want to keep using selective start
or normal--if you use Normal--the programs will start again---at least this
happens with the Kodak Easyshare software. I can stop them from starting
using selective start but if I check the Normal start in msconfig--they will
start again--even though I thought they would not since I unchecked them in
the start tab.

Deselect any program you do not want to run at startup.

I'm not sure what you don't understand about the difference between Normal
and Selective. Normal loads all your programs at startup. Selective, is
just that, you select what you want at startup. You cannot have the best
of both worlds, either you have Selective startup, or you have Normal. You
cannot select only a few things from the Selective Startup AND have Normal
selected. Which ever you select last will negate your first choice. You
seem to be confused about what the startup tab is in conjunction with the
type of startup options you have.
Your choices listed on the General tab in msconfig are you choices for your
startup, Normal, Selective, and Diagnostic. The Items on the 'Startup Tab'
are programs that will load when you start Windows.
What you choose from there determines what loads, and who decides what loads
at startup. If you choose normal, you don't decide what loads at startup,
Windows xp does.
If you want to decide and control what loads at startup, then you pick
selective. Now this only changes the programs that load when you start
Windows, everything else runs Normally, however, you are still in a
'Selective' startup as far as programs that load when Windows starts.

If you do not want to use Selective Start and prevent the Kodak Easyshare
software from starting ---do not use the MSCONFIG process----you can go to
Start-----All programs---Startup folder--which will contain the two Kodak
programs--right click on each and delete--this does not remove the programs
--but will stop them from starting up when Windows is loaded. You can them
manually start the Easyshare program when needed. You did not use
Msconfig---you did not change your startup process from Normal to
Selective--if you want to use Selective --fine--you can do that--either way
will work. I did not want to use Selective--you may.

I'm not the one asking the question.
Nor was I debating the process to stop the program from starting. What I
was trying to explain was the difference between Normal or Selective
options on the msconfig general tab. What you didn't seem to be grasping
was you cannot use Selective and Normal at the same time. If you use
Selective, then go to the Startup tab to make your selections, then go back
and select Normal from the general tab, you lose your selective choices,
thus, ALL programs are going to start, including the Kodak Easyshare.

I agree --as there is no way you could use Normal and Selective Start at the
same time--you have to click one option or the other. I never wanted or
stated that this could be done--just that if you continue to use Normal--the
programs will still start--if you use Selective start--they will not-(if you

click on the Kodak Programs and delete them--it wil then remove them from
starting when Windows loads--the programs will still reside on the computer
if you want them to run later by manually starting.

There must be 2 different Country's because in this post it sounds like
'Country' is trying to have both Noraml and Selective startup options in
use.
And, not that this really matters, but I don't understand why anyone would
want to use Normal startup, instead of selective. If I use Noraml, the
number of things loading at startup are incredible, and all it does is make
my initial startup procedure very lengthy. but I guess that's what makes us
individuals.

[Copied and pasted from another thread in the ms/basics forum,]

I do not believe the information is detailed or correct-as if you go to
msconfig you get the option of normal startup or selective--if you go to the
startup tab and uncheck the Kodak programs -hit apply -it does nothing--as
when you start up again in normal start mode the programs will reload.


If you
select selective startup--then uncheck the Kodak prog. in the startup
tab--it
will remove them but you will get msg from Windows that you changed the
start
and ask you if you want to keep that or not---if you say dont show the msg
and keep the selective startup--

the programs will not start at Windows
opening. ==but if you go back and select Normal start they will restart
again.


I have been trying to get rid of the Easyshare from starting using
Normal startup--but so far cannot do so. I did not want to keep using the
Selective startup. Why Kodak does this is ??? another problem with Xp is
that
all accounts will encounter the same problem plus if they do not have
administrative privileges they cannot use all of the Easyshare
features-Kodak
is not user friendly

I apoligize if it sounds like I want to use Selective and Normal startup

You
cannot select only a few things from the Selective Startup AND have
Normal
selected. Which ever you select last will negate your first choice.
You
seem to be confused about what the startup tab is in conjunction with
the
type of startup options you have.
Your choices listed on the General tab in msconfig are you choices for
your
startup, Normal, Selective, and Diagnostic. The Items on the 'Startup
Tab'
are programs that will load when you start Windows.
What you choose from there determines what loads, and who decides what
loads
at startup. If you choose normal, you don't decide what loads at
startup,
Windows xp does.
If you want to decide and control what loads at startup, then you pick
selective. Now this only changes the programs that load when you
start
Windows, everything else runs Normally, however, you are still in a
'Selective' startup as far as programs that load when Windows starts.

When I start-up my computer, so many things are running
in the background. I don't know what they are. I do
know that I do not want some of them to run/open, such as
Kodak EasyShare or Money Express. How can I remove them
from the start-up sequence?

Also, can I order the sequence of the start-up? For
example, my computer opens AIM and MSN Messenger BEFORE
it opens Norton System Works. I think it is safer to
have the NAV active before I open these 2 areas. Am I
right? How is it done?

Thanks

nothing--as
when you start up again in normal start mode the programs will reload.


If you

will remove them but you will get msg from Windows that you changed the

the programs will not start at Windows
opening. ==but if you go back and select Normal start they will restart

I have been trying to get rid of the Easyshare from starting using
Normal startup--but so far cannot do so. I did not want to keep using the

that
all accounts will encounter the same problem plus if they do not have

Your choices listed on the General tab in msconfig are you
choices
for
your
startup, Normal, Selective, and Diagnostic. The Items on the
'Startup
Tab'
are programs that will load when you start Windows.
What you choose from there determines what loads, and who
decides
what
loads
at startup. If you choose normal, you don't decide what loads
at
startup,
Windows xp does.
If you want to decide and control what loads at startup, then
you
pick
selective. Now this only changes the programs that load when
you
start
Windows, everything else runs Normally, however, you are still
in a
'Selective' startup as far as programs that load when Windows
starts.

noone is mentioning that using msconfig gives you the option
of
Normal
startup and also selective startup--if you uncheck items in
the
startup
tab
under normal startup they will restart when you load Windows
the
next
time.
You can use Selective startup and remove the tick marks from
programs
you
do
not want to start--you will then get a display stating you
have
changed
the
start process and you then decide if you want to keep using
selective
start
or normal--if you use Normal--the programs will start
again---at
least
this
happens with the Kodak Easyshare software. I can stop them
from
starting
using selective start but if I check the Normal start in
msconfig--they
will
start again--even though I thought they would not since I
unchecked
them
in
the start tab.

Go to "Run" in the start menu and type "msconfig". There
should be a "Startup" tab in the window that pops up.
Deselect any program you do not want to run at startup.
