These programs are not always running and may simply run once and then shut down. When asking questions about startup programs on your computer, make sure that they are actually a startup program, and not a process running from a program you launched or another process launched. To determine this, you should use Autoruns which will list all the startup programs on your computer. It is from this list of programs that you should be asking questions in this forum about. -------------------- Lawrence

I found several items that can easily be unchecked but Autorun does not allow me to do that. It shows a window saying "Erros changing item state. Acces denied". I would like to solve this because otherwise Autorun is getting me nowhere. Thanks a lot, Marcel
