Take a look in your Startup Folder (Right-click on the Start button, choose
"Open", double-click on "Programs" and then open the "Startup" folder) and
see if there are any shortcuts in there.

Hi,

Click start/run, type msconfig and click ok. Go to the startup tab and
uncheck the entries that load them here.

I am having the same problem. I try to run msconfig, but it says it cannot
find the file name. i also tried to right click on start, open, programs,
startup, and that folder is empty. Any other suggestions? Thanks.

The first place to look for disabling s/w from starting is in program's
options, or preferences, whatever that specific app calls it.

Under there, it's usually a section....'General', or 'Startup Options', or
similar.
 
Hi,

Try typing this into the run prompt:

C:\Windows\PCHealth\HelpCtr\Binaries\msconfig.exe

When I try tjis, I am told that this file has been used or removed. What the
heck's going on?

Open Windows Explorer to that folder, is the file there?
