    Hi Nementh.

    First place to check is settings within program. Sometimes right clicking an icon in systray will give you options.

    If that doesn't pan out then open Task Manager, CRTL+ALT+DEL, then click on Startup tab. If start up tab not visible click on show more details, lower left corner. You should see a list of Start up item. Please know what you are disabling in Startup, sometimes they aren't obvious.

    If that fails you could use Autoruns from sysinternals.com

    Also remember that all of the Sysinternals tools come with a fully detailed User Manual/Guide.

    Now this is not the most exciting read in the world, but with the extreme power of these tools and their ability to cause serious damage to a systems software if used incorrectly I do suggest you read at least the basics and warnings

    Autoruns Can for example delete startup items completely, but as this is a one time option you are better off unchecking the box next to the entry, which can be rechecked later if the change causes issues, and running the system for a short while before going back in to permanently delete an item. - this can also be interesting to see which items reappear, and may need an edit or two to the task scheduler to tame fully

    I would also advise that you keep a small notepad to record the changes you have performed as if some change needs reversing in a years time the notes will be very useful.

    The other thing to remember is the change one thing at a time and reboot the system before you look to change another, Yes this increases the time taken to finish a task, but a complete reinstall of the operating system Programs and data can take considerably longer *Wink

    Yeah, I'm going to have to read the manual. After I deleted Oculus from startup, I couldn't get it to run at all had re initiate it in autorun. Just need to read I guess.
