You can also right click any app here to Enable it as well. You can now right click any app in this list and click Disable to stop it from opening when you start up your PC. my user account has the administrator role.ĮDIT: preferrably without another 3rd party tool. Click on the Status box to list all of the programs that start when your computer boots. If someone could guide me to where these extra programs are configured to run-at-startup I would be very greatful! i have deduced this because I am unable to use the file-drag-and-drop feature in both (which is a known problem when running 'as administrator'). The other strange thing is that it seems like these (at least skype and thunderbird) are running 'as administrator'. and some anonymous call to javaw (can't find any more details but it fails anyway).Thunderbird (for which I cannot find any option to run-at-startup).Skype (for which I have disabled 'start when windows starts' in its options).I have tried to find them in the above folder, as well as in the 'startup' section of 'msconfig'.
However I have (at least) 4 programs which are also starting up, which I can't find where they are configured or how to disable them.
I have a few programs that should run at startup which are 'properly' configured to do so via adding shortcuts to the startup directory:Ĭ:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
