Hello,

Could somebody please tell me how to stop programs stating up on their own,
i.e. I have real player which I rarely use, however it is permantely in my
system tray, I think that what you call it, where the little icon tell you
what is running, I would like not to have real player there.

Many thanks

If you right click on it, or open it, you can adjust preferences to stop
it from starting...

Leythos,

Thanks for that information, I have just looked in preferences on real
player and I see no option to not get it to start when my pc starts, I have
looked under every tab,

I appreciate you help

IIRC, right-click on the RealPlayer icon in the System Tray and choose
"Disable Quick Play". The exact wording might be a bit different (I'm
going from memory here), but it is obvious what to do.

try this ....>start>run....in the box that appears you need to type in
the word msconfig then click on ok.

look for a tab that says start and click on it


you will then see a list of stuff that loads up when you start up your
pc.

uncheck all the stuff you think you dont need however dont touch your
antivirus and firewall .

when youve done click off it.

the next time you start your pc you will see a screen that says youve
messed with things just click the box that says dont show me this
again.

you should now start up faster.

hope this is of use to you,
