craigathus Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Hi all What's the easiest and safest way to stop! a "program" for example: (Realtek's Sound Manager) from automatically starting & placing it's icon in the system tray? The program dose give me a "check box" option to: (Show icon in system tray) however there is no option for stopping the program from starting at system startup! I can uncheck this program in the "startup" list in (msconfig), is this the "normal" way to do this? http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/builds http://www.piriform.com/docs http://www.postimage.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigathus Posted February 12, 2008 Author Share Posted February 12, 2008 Yup Hi JD , CCleaner has a "Startup" list in the "Tools" section, however the only option (Unfortunately) is to delete any highlighted entry. http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/builds http://www.piriform.com/docs http://www.postimage.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I don't like the way CCleaner handles it, at least with msconfig you can easily re-add an entry if you need to (just retick the box) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoKenny Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 I can uncheck this program in the "startup" list in (msconfig), is this the "normal" way to do this? Msconfig is not a recommended way to disable Startup items Why can't I use msconfig to change my services? The reason is because with msconfig and Hardware Profiles, you can disable services that may be vital to boot your system. With the management console (services.msc) you cannot. Also, msconfig, while unchecking the box, is disabling the service. The "Disable All" button also scares me. It should not even be there as no reason exists to justify disabling "everything." http://www.blackviper.com/AskBV/XP25.htm WinPatrol has a feature to disable/enable Startup Programs "Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he learned in school." - Albert Einstein IE7Pro user Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

login123 Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 I think autoruns will do it for a startup item, and services.msc will do it for a service. Autoruns is: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinte...s/bb963902.aspx The CCleaner SLIM version is always released a bit after any new version; when it is it will be HERE :-) Pssssst: ... It isn't really a cloud. Its a bunch of big, giant servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTskifreak Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Windows Defender can do it amazingly enough. You can either disable it or delete it all together. AJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoKenny Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 That is referring to stopping services in msconfig, not startup items. Why don't you try the Disable All button "Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he learned in school." - Albert Einstein IE7Pro user Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDPower Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Why don't you try the Disable All button I could do on the startup tab, wouldn't cause me any problems at all. It's the services tab where that is dangerous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
