Hello all...

Is there anyway I can "lock" my startup configuration so that programs can't add themselve to it? I have used SpySweeper which has a Startup shield, but I don't want to have to run it all the time...

Thanks

When you install a program near the end of the install it should ask you whether you want the program to run at start up or have a check mark box asking to run at startup. Answer no. If something still makes it to your start up you can remove it.

Start
All Programs
Startup

Removing entries from the startup folder should free them from running when you restart your computer.
