Automatic Opening on Start Up

Hello,
For some reason Captivate has started to automatically load
up and open to the welcome screen on start up. It doesn't happen
consistently but both my colleague and I have experienced it
several times over the past couple of days. It happens when we log
in for the first time in the morning and also if we have to restart
for any reason.
Has anyone experienced this and if so can you tell me why?
Thanks in advance
Alex

Hi Alex
Well, the first place to look is to click Start > Programs
(or All Programs) > Startup. That's usually the most likely
place to look. If you find entries there for Captivate, delete
them.
Assuming that place is empty, the next place to look is in
the Windows Registry. To easily do this, click Start > Run and
type MSCONFIG into the Run dialog. Then click OK. Click the Startup
tab and look to see if there are any entries related to Captivate.
It's also worth asking your IT folks about. I think that some
network login scripts can also automatically load certain items. So
double check with them.
Cheers... Rick

  • Safari Automatically Opens after Starting or Restarting???

    Every time I start up or restart my iMac, Safari automatically opens.  It and no other apps were open when I restarted or shut down.  Why would this be happening and how do I stop it?
    I looked under System Preferences - Users - Login Items and Safari was not there.  I also right-click on Safari in my dock and the option to "Open at Login" is not checked.  Anywhere else I could look?   It's just annoying..

    Thanks for the response, Linc.  I have just a couple things in my Login Items.  Doubt they'd be causing it.

  • Firefox is automatically opening upon start up

    Firefox automatically opening on my MacBook upon start up, just started 7 days ago. Not sure why? I've tried resetting under preferences. That didn't work. I'm not a tech person. But I find it frustrating when this happens.

    Sounds like a bit of spyware to me.
    I suggest downloading Ccleaner (http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download) and running that program. Note this will remove most of your saved usernames/passwords and all of your history/saved offline pages.

  • Programs that automatically open on startup

    Can anyone tell me how to STOP Skype from automatically opening on Start up of my MBPro ? It never did this and I haven't updated OSX lately, nor can I with 10.4.11. Skype now opens when I power on my mac, then hangs - always, and I have to force quit it. There is NO option in Skype's own menu list to stop it from auto opening on start up. Grrrr
    Thanks to you if you can help.

    Open the Accounts pane of System Preferences and check the list of login items for your user account.

  • Acrobat 8.1 - Multiple files open automatically when i start Acrobat

    When I click on my Acrobat icon 50 files automatically open up.  This did not happen on Friday and now on Monday it does.  What can I do to fix this problem?

    The same thing is happening to me. I joined the forum just to post this.
    It started on Acrobat Pro 8. I uninstalled 8 and installed 9 Pro. That seemed to fix the problem for a few days, but it's back now. Whenever I open one pdf via double click on the pdf or file --> open from the acrobat pro menu, it tries to launch every pdf on my computer until it hits 50 and quits. I see this problem is unresolved. Unfortunately, I don't have the answer. Hopefully someone out there does...

  • Why does the folder "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Elements" open automatically when I start my PC?

    Why does the folder "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Elements" open automatically when I start my PC? How do I adjust settings to stop this from happening?

    Hi,
    This folder is probably treated as a program to run at startup.
    So you will have to look at the places where such programs are referenced.
    For instance, you may have a shortcut to that folder in your Start Menu > Startup.
    Or it may be in the Registry.
    Click on Start >  Execute, the type msconfig and click OK.
    This will show you in the Startup tab all the programs launched at startup.

  • Tabs d0 not close on exit; when restarted, last-used tabs automatically open. How to I close ALL TABS on exit so that nothing re-opens when Firefox 4 is started?

    All last-used tabs remain "visible" and do not close automatically on exit from Firefox 4. This means that when a new session is started, the last-used tab (website) automatically opens. How can ALL TABS be closed on exit from Firefox?

    Go to Tools | Add-ons | Plugins ans disable "My Web Search". This program is spyware and will cause you all sorts of problems. After you disable it, go to Add/Remove Programs and uninstall it.

    Did you ever install Acrobat? It is not installed automatically with CS, but requires an extra installation step.

    This is probabaly caused by the resume feature. When you log out, uncheck the box that appears.

    Dealing With The Resume Feature of Lion
    Managing Mac OS X Lion's application resume feature.
    If you shutdown your computer you should get a dialog asking if you want applications to resume on the next startup. Simply uncheck the box to prevent that from occurring. Open General preferences and uncheck the option to Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps. You can also install a third-party utility to control resume features on individual applications: RestoreMeNot or Application State Cleaner.
    It is possible to completely stop the Resume feature although I'm unconvinced that it is that annoying. Nevertheless see the following:
    If you have not yet done so you must first make your /Home/Library/ folder visible. Open the Terminal application in the Utilities folder. At the prompt paste the following command line:
    chflags nohidden ~/Library
    Press RETURN. Quit the Terminal application.
    In the Finder navigate to the /Home/Library/Saved Application State/ folder. Delete the contents of the folder. Back up to the /Home/Library/ folder. Select the Saved Application State folder. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the Sharing and Permissions panel at the bottom click on the lock icon and authenticate. Set each of the listed entries to Read Only. Close the Get Info window.
    Quit all open programs except the Finder (this is very important.) Next, navigate to the /Home/Library/Preferences/ByHost/ folder. Look for a .plist file with "com.apple.loginwindow." in the file name followed by some numbers in hexadecimal. Select the file. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window and in the Sharing and Permissions panel click on the lock icon and authenticate. Set each of the listed entries to Read Only. Close the Get Info window. If you also find a file with the same filename but with a last extension of ".lockfile," then you should delete it.
    The above should eliminate the Resume feature system-wide. Note that any future system updates or upgrades will likely undo these changes. You will then need to repeat this procedure assuming there are no major changes in OS X related to it.
