Startup programs?


Best Answer jschall , 21 February 2015 - 06:54 PM

Ooh, msconfig - a blast from the past! Thank you, @Paz. But Spotify wasn't in  there, either.

 

It turns out there is a setting in the Spotify Settings menu to start with Windows Logon or not. It was set to Not, but it was starting anyway. I set it to start with windows and rebooted - it started, all right.

 

Then I set it to Not, and rebooted, and this time it "took". Spotify no longer starts with Windows.

When bbZero starts, it always opens my Spotify program.

 

Spotify is not in my Windows Startup folder, nor in the Startup tab of the Task Manager.

 

Is there a Startup configuration file in bbZero?

no, BB has no its own startup folder

sysinternals / autoruns is a good utility for looking up startup items

You can also use the build in msconfig utility in windows (in case you didn't already) :
