Hi guys,

I am trying out a small App but don't want it to run every time I boot up.

I have tried removing it from the start-up using msconfig but it won't
budge - any suggestions?

Thanks Already!

What app is it, and what path and file does msconfig>Startup show for its entry?

When you try to disable it with msconfig and reboot, does it create a new entry with
a checkmark, leaving the unchecked entry also? Or does it re-check the entry you
unchecked?

If you disable something in msconfig and it comes back, you need to find an option
in the app's preferences to turn off its load-on-boot feature.
