Run MSCONFIG and uncheck any unnecessary programs

There is an easy way to cancel the popping up of cmd.exe at startup. In the start menu click Run. Type msconfig and under the starup tab, uncheck the box before cmd.exe. About the control panel, there isnt much information. U must tell whetherthe window for the control panel tool opens up, when u doubleclick it or is there just the cmd.exe?

Does this problem happened whenever a specific user login? check the startup folders, as well as the registry entries found in

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run and Run once

As well as Registry entries found in
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run and Run once
