Auto Start Disable

This is ridiculous. I shouldn't have to be a programmer to not have Adobe videos auto start as soon as the page opens on CNN or whatever. At work I often want to have a moment. Or if there's a text story below, I want to read the story and not view the video at all.
WHY CAN'T I DISABLE AUTO START??

Happy,
Your iMac (and Mac OS X) has excellent support for "multiple users". I would suggest reading up on the concept. Just click on Help in the Finder and search for "multiple users". Lots of information.
This way, your son can have IM launch at start up, while you won't even have access to it.
It will also prevent him from mucking up "your" computer with his "necessary" add-ons. For example, LimeWire.

Disable auto-start

How do I disable Iphoto auto-start? I am referring to it detecting a camera or images on a storage device. I do not use Iphoto or wish to.( OS 10.8, MacBook Air) in fact, can I just uninstall it without consequences to Aperture? Thanks!

From within iPhoto, go to the "iPhoto" menu and go to "Preferences." Under "Connecting camera opens:" select "No application." Now iPhoto should not launch when you plug in your camera.

Is there a way to have itunes delete the WMA file after creating mp3 copy?
No. But after the MP3s are created and you are satisfied that things went OK, just delete the WMAs manually and say "Good Riddance."
You can use an MP3 in multiple players, but you need to turn off any features that automatically change or move files, since one player will change something that messes up the other:
In iTunes, that means go to Edit > Preferences > Advanced and uncheck "Keep..." and "Copy..."
In Windows Media Player, that means go to Tools > Options > Library, and uncheck everything that starts with a verb such as "Rename...," "Rearrange...," etc.

I guess i don't remember that in photoshop elements 3, so could you explain a little more about what your asking?
What operating system are you using?
Unless your talking about the welcome screen that gives a choice of what to start when ckicking on the pse 3 shortcut (welcome screen, organizer or editor)
Window>Welcome in the editor or organizer
Or auto launching the adobe photo downloader when you have a camera or camera card connected.

Virtual keyboard auto starts in Windows 8.1 Pro

Even if the toolbar is turned off and the toolbar is locked, and under ease of use the checkbox is unchecked, this pesky icon keeps coming back. Is there a registry fix... users are complaining. thx!

Hi,
Please know that it’s powered by a windows service called Touch keyboard and handwriting
pane. Stopping this service will be in result of disabling the on-screen keyboard.
Let’s try to disable the service related to the touch keyboard:
1. Press Win+R, type “services.msc“, and press Enter to bring up Services window.
2. Scroll down a bit until locate the service called Touch keyboard …
3. Double click it, first to stop it if it’s running, and then change the Startup type to either Manual or Disable to prevent it from auto-starting next time when computer starts.
Hope these could be helpful.

How to stop the auto-start of log reader agent (replication) right after my database is restored?

I have the scenario where the SQL server is restored (after migration).
This database has transactional replication set-up on one of the databases. When I do a manual delete and restore of the database, I see that the replication starts right after the publisher and subscriber are restored.
Replication agents should not start and run before the integrity checks are completed. How to stop the replication from auto starting right after the migration?
Thanks in advance - Jebah

Thanks Pradyothana, I have disabled the logreader, distribution agents through sp_update_job in Tsql script. I have also verified that there are no pending transactions to be replicated to the subscriber, I see that the job is still being executed. Is there
any other way to disable the jobs?
Steps I followed
Started with a Working publication and subscription
Disabled the jobs (log reader and distribution agents)
Backed up publisher, subscriber, distribution and msdb
Deleted the publication, subscription, publisher and subscriber
Restored the publisher, subscriber, distribution and msdb
Enabled the jobs and executed sp_replrestart
Observations/Issues
Replication does not work
Replication monitor does not show any error
Jobs are shows as enabled but not started in job monitor
Not able to start/stop the log reader and synchronization manually.
I am not sure if I have missed something while restoring the db.
Thanks in advance

How to turn off iTunes auto-start when iPhone connected?

The option "Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected" is disabled (grayed out) in iTunes 10. The grayed-out check box is unchecked, yet iTunes starts every time I plug in my iPhone 3G. I would like to be able to plug in my phone without iTunes starting. Is there a way?

Right. Un-checking the preference to prevent auto-sync re-enabled the auto-start option. Then I was able to check and un-check the auto-start option and re-check the prevent auto-sync preference. Now all seems well. Despite appearances (the un-checked option), the internal setting was in the wrong state and twiddling it seems to have set things right.
What a boneheaded user interface, where items on widely separated parts of the UI affect each other invisibly.

How can I auto start a slideshow?

Is there a way to auto start a photo slideshow? I'd like to skip the index screen and go directly to the slideshow.

iweb1 slideshow can be directly linked, so if you have iweb1; you may like to try that.
now to the bad news, iweb2 slideshow can be directly linked, only if users' browser allow pop-up windows. however, most people DO block pop-up windows.
here is example - please disable your browser's pop-up windows for it to work:
http://hdl.50webs.com/Direct_SS/Photos.html
that because iweb2 slideshow requires two open windows: photo page window and slideshow page window. slideshow gets the photo from photo page, while photo page is opened. slideshow will stop working when photo page is closed.
in my example, there is one added line of javascript in the photo page ,js file to start slideshow (five seconds after the photo page loaded):
setTimeout('widget1.playSlideshow()', 5000);

How to stop Dragon Gaming Center's auto-start?

Dragon Gaming Center is a good monitor, but i only want to start it before gaming. i cant find anything about Dragon Gaming Center in msconfig.exe and services.msc, but it already can auto-start. How to stop it?

Nevermind, found it and fixed it.
After some googling around further I found this page which said it was started by a scheduled task. ( second result was shouldiremoveit site, but I can't post external links here )
So I went to taskscheduler and found it through the active task list at the bottom. (make sure you run it as administrator if you want to change it)
It is called "MSI_Dragon Gaming Center" and engages at logon. So I thought, "Well, why not simply disable it". Well, as it happens, the taskscheduler gets a fit and looses it's marbles (seriously! scheduled task lists seem to get flushed) when you try to disable it (right click on it for context menu) because somehow it was assigned by MSI to be done by an incorrect user, named "User" or "Users". I can't remember exactly anymore. The former does not exist by default so some MSI dev might have forgotten to replace a systemvariable reference. The latter is a user-group, not a user! It may have caused the fault because I have a dutch language pack, and that group is named differently on my system. It's aka "Built-In\Users" in english. Anyway, correcting this was the fix that allows it to be disabled/edited.
So, I opened the properties of the task (again right click for context menu) and changed the executing user to my personal useraccount. When that succeeded I was able to disable the task succesfully, and it didn't start at login anymore.

How to prevent process from auto start?

In Windows 7, I type in MSConfig in the RUN, I can access a tab where I can see all the process that automatically start in the backgound when the computer starts. I can choose to disable which process I no longer want to auto start. Is there something like this in Mac OS X Lion?

Turning off autoplay does not stop videos from auto-starting, will this be fixed, or should I switch to another browser ? (which do you suggest?)

Hi,
Firefox these days has an annoying habit of starting videos on every news page that I open and when I scroll through my facebook newsfeed. There is only a very select amount of these videos that I would actually want to watch, and it's annoying to be bombarder with this media constantly.
I have tried disabling auto-play in the config page to no avail, and am not interested in installing add-ons to accomplish a task that should be handled by the browser itself.
So, does anyone know of a method to accomplish this with FireFox's own settings, or alternatively recommend a browser that does not have this offensive behavior ?
Thanks in advance...

I think the built-in setting (media.autoplay.enabled) relates to the HTML5 player and doesn't apply to plugins such as the Flash player. You usually can tell whether it's a plugin-based player by right-clicking it and checking whether it has a proprietary context menu instead of the normal Firefox menu.
To control when plugins start, you can use the "Ask to Activate" permission setting. You can adjust this setting on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Command+Shift+a (Windows: Ctrl+Shift+a)
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Plugins. Then on the right side, change the permission for Shockwave Flash (for example) from Always Activate to Ask to Activate. ''(If you have plugins that run in the background or globally, such as security plugins, you may encounter problems using Ask to Activate for those.)''
Of course, once you give permission to a site, each new page you load from that site will be able to auto-start its videos. Taking detailed control of that ''does'' require an add-on. I think this one might be the best integrated with the standard permission feature:

My mouse pointer auto starts links and bookmarks without clicking on them . is there a way to stop this?

i am on a desktop pc .i use a perrixx usb keyboard and touchpad mouse .it looks like a laptop keyboard.# Question
my mouse pointer auto starts links and bookmarks without clicking on them . is there a way to stop this?

this should not be happening, maybe one of your addons is interfering?! - can you try running firefox in safemode or with all extensions disabled for a while and see if this behaviour is still there...

HT4539 Is there any way to auto-start the Apple mail app?

Our company offers a 7/24 service where a user can leave a voice mail in our system and our mail server will send an urgent mail message to the iPhone of the employee on duty so it can be handled in a timely manner. The problem we are having is that if someone turns off their phone and starts it again (or if the user opens the running apps window and shuts down the mail app), the users are not getting those urgent emails.
While I understand having an auto-starting app would be undesirable, since every developer might start activating that feature, does Apple iOS6 have any way to tell the mail app to restart on iPhone boot? We have a few people using other smartphones with a competing O/S that sounds similar to "asteroid" ;-) and the mail appears to be always operational, even if you shut down the app.

And be sure to set up Notifications for mail so the phone will beep, buzz, flash, whatever when a message comes in.
One issue though (discussed elsewhere): the phone will only Notify once. If you didn't hear or see it, there won't be any further warning (unlike, say, Blackberry's flashing LED). You're gonna have to grab the phone and at least bring up the lock screen to see if there are any notifications queued up.

Bingo.... I got it.
Thanks for your hint about the ./.profile. I was setting env variables in .cshrc file and my default shell for "oracle" user was sh.
Then I changed the default shell for oracle user to csh and viola..... it works.

$ setenv

How to switch off auto start of replication sp's.

hi,
I was checking my sqlserver's master database and found some body has swithched on auto start
of the following sps.
sp_MScleanupmergepublisher
sp_MSrepl_startup
May be some one was exprerimenting with replication.
pls tel me how can i switch them off?
i was hesitating to use this command
"sp_procoption 'spname', 'startup','off'"
, because i thought some on might have configured some thing else also for replication
or there might be some other way to swithch of these replication sp.
yours sincerely

You dont want to stop these.
These are automatically started when SQL Server starts provided you have replication configured.
