I have Quick Time and I would like to know how can I stop it from adding its
start-up task file in my msconfig? I do not use Quick Time much.

Thank you;
David
 
You can stop start-up programs by typing this in RUN box (START, Run)

msconfig /all

you will the last tab called start-up. Click on it and then uncheck the
quick-time item.
click OK
reboot the system
Now uncheck the prompt which tells you that your system has changed so
that it doesn't bother you again!!!

I don't like the registry method because it is not for the amateurs!!



Hope this helps.

In most cases, with "well-mannered" applications, it's usually as
simple as opening the undesired program and deselecting the option to
"display icon in the system tray" or to "start when Windows starts."

Additionally, Look in the C:\Documents and Settings\All
Users\Start Menu\Programs\Start Up and C:\Documents and
Settings\username\Start Menu\Programs\Start Up folders, and in the
system registry, primarily in the
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run and
HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run keys.

Msconfig is designed to be a *troubleshooting* tool, not a "startup
configurer." It should be used in Normal mode, unless you're actively
troubleshooting a problem.
