Type "Msconfig" into search. press enter when "msconfig" is highlighted. Go to startup tab and find the program you do not wish to start. Uncheck it. Hit apply and OK.
WLM also has an option to "start when Windows starts" in the options somewhere I'm sure. I don'y use it.
Msconfig will do the trick
yeah nice work on that nate42nd.... or sometimes the program themselfs have a setting in them to stop them from starting up when windows does but you might have to go looking for it
Yes, most programs have a setting but msconfig is a great tool, but be careful....you don't want to uncheck anything you aren't sure about. I unchecked a mouse driver one time and it took me a lot of work to find out why my mouse was not working right. There are things in there you don't want to mess with. Make sure you know what the program is.....look at the .exe

Here is what I use instead of msconfig.
Autoruns for Windows
Autoruns is just one of many utilities available from sysinternals,from Microsoft.
Never hurts to have options.
