How to STOP Safari browser opening at Win 7 boot
Hi,
I have a very perplexing start up problem. The browser “Safari” has started opening every time I boot and I cannot find a way to disable !!
My system is a desktop WINDOWS 7 Pro (64 bit). I did install Safari about a year ago and have used it a few times by manually starting (clicking on the Safari.exe file).
About two weeks ago Safari stated loading at each boot. As far as I know, I did not change any Safari settings. I have looked at all the usual places msconfig, start up folders, my start up application (Start Up Cop Pro 6), an internet search, etc. I have been unable to find any information about Safari settings to enable Safari to load at Windows boot.
Obviously, I am not looking in the right place, because Safari opens at every boot. I did temporarily rename “Safari.exe” to “SafariXXX.exe” –which stopped the Safari opening at boot.
Does anyone know the program name/link and where it is located, or trouble shooting tips to find the source that is causing Safari to load at Win 7 boot?
Thanks for your help.
