UNSOLVED
checked boxes in msconfig
I have unchecked my boxes in msconfig so the programs will not run when I boot up. Each time I restart, the darn things are checked again! How Can I get them to stay unchecked?
The windows logon screen does the same. Even though I don't enter a password & click cancel, it continues to pop up each time I boot up the pc.
Thanks,
Bev

BEVYSR,
Go to each program and look for preferences or options. Look for an options box that allows the program to start when windows starts. If you find that preference or option uncheck it.

Hi pofolks,
I have clicked apply & then OK. Still remain checked after I reboot.

You need to click 'ok' not 'cancel' for the logon screen.You can enter a password or leave the space blank,then click OK :)

Hi John,
Thanks for the response. I have clicked "ok", many many times. I've also clicked "Cancel" to see if either of them would do it. Neither of them worked.

Look in your "Disabled Startup Folder" and delete any shortcuts found there for the "returning" programs.
