@none: "Hi,
I am trying to stop certain programs loading at win startup.
I have tried with msconfig in the startup tab,,,however on reboot and reload
win they are still loading %^*%&^*$%$!!!...
Is there a sure fire way to stop programs loading at startup e.g. registry
or some other program that does it permanently!
thanks for any help"
    @ZHNTPDWBLECA: "The only way you should stop a program from loading
at startup, is from it's own 'Preferences' or 'Options'.
As you have found out, msconfig does not always work.
It is, in fact, only a diagnostic program.
What particular programs are you trying to prevent?

their own program. However this one: Ensoniq mixer whose program is
starter.exe it puts an icon on the taskbar for audio properties etc. IF
uncheck in msconfig it still loads...

Check the following places:
1. Config.sys
2. Autoexec.bat
3. Check for the existence of a winstart.bat file.
4. The Startup folder (Start / Programs / Startup).
5. The RUN= and LOAD= line in win.ini .
6. End the particular application *before* rebooting.
7. The Task Scheduler.
8. The Registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServicesOnce
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce\Setup
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce
9. Remember that some applications can load secondary programs
    or thomas19@example.com.

With my creative sb 128 you disable it through device manager. There's a tab
on one of the sound card screens. I don't know if the same option exists on
the newer live or audigy cards though.

tab
on
Thanks for that link! I fixed it. It is in the device manager properties for
the soundcard. However even then I had to reboot and uncheck a few times,
now it seems gone permanently at last!.
Seems this problem is not just for me....LOL that guys quote is spot on : I
guess ensoniq tecs didn't have their best day programming that driver.
