MYPAINT program is a kids drawing program,
if i activate it by it's defult icon, it starts normaly ,but when you exit it,it shut down my win9X and if i turn my pc again,as soon as microsoft window appers it starts MYPAINT program again,and so on..
i tried safe mode,logging to DOS, BUT NOTHING SEEMS TO BE WORKING.

Reboot the computer in Safe mode. Edit Autoexec.bat file and remove the line that start Mypaint. Then reboot the computer. This should stop the program from starting everytime you start the computer. Hope this helps.

I agree with answer number one . The way you can do it after booting SAFE mode is , Go to accessories / system tools / system information . Then from tools menu select system configuration utility . on the startup tab uncheck the MYPAINT program , OK/APPLY then exit and restart the computer . The MYPAINT program will not start when windows loads and therefore the shutdown will not occur . Also try uninstalling the MYPAINT program and reinsalling it , it might clear the bug .

Much Luck !!!!!

try searching your registry using regedit for "mypaint". Delete any registry keys labeled "MYPAINT"

also, check the options in the program itself.
