King Jammy Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 How do I stop certain programs from running at start up? I got some thingy called Tune Up utilities that does other stuff but its got some startup entries thing where you can select or deselect whatever you want to run at startup but certain programs keep coming back once you open them.Is there some way of preventing this permanently coz its pissing me off ffs. Certain programs are making my pc take yonks to load up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Jammy Posted September 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 It's happening again.The program is Windows Live Messenger, I unchecked it from the list but every time I use the program it runs again automatically at startup - not from the same location that I unchecked it from though, it shows it starting from a next location.HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunHow do I stop it running from there or whatever?
