[jaws-uk] Re: Stopping programs running at startup

Hi Roy,

There's a program called "Msconfig" that you can use to stop things.

If you hit start button r for run and then, msconfig, you'll get into it.
If you press control-tab, you get various pages, one is applications and you can go down a list and see which ones are running. If you find Yahoo is running, uncheck it and tab to apply then close. You'll be asked to restart. 

You may have to do it from your wife's account.
There's also a prog called startup inspector that you can download free and stop things. don't have link at minute.

Subject: [jaws-uk] Stopping programs running at startup



Hi there
I am running Windows XP and JAWS 7. There are two login accounts on my PC. When my wife logs into her account, YahooMessanger starts up automatically, and asks for a login account and password. All I want to do is stop YahooMessanger running at start-up, on this account. I've looked in ControlPanel and can't seem to find anywhere to alter what starts up. Any help/advice would be very useful. Thanks in advance. 



Cheers

Roy
