Leonard Zelig Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 Can anybody tell me how to make a program open automatically when I start my computer? I also need to know how to make other programs not open when I start. I am running Windows XP. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Leonard Zelig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Valpo, but i may have worded my question wrong. When I start my CPU, about 5 programs open in the lower right hand corner of the task bar. I don't want some of these to open, and I want to make a couple of others. How can I change this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valponick Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 You can disable some of them from the msconfig menu. If not then each program usually has a "run on startup" box that can be unchecked somewhere in its own menu. If there are specific programs you can't figure out list them here, if I have the same programs or am familiar with them maybe I can be of more help.

Texsox Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 XP also has a pretty good help system built in. Far better than previous versions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
