Program in my Startup

Hi Guys
I installed a couple of programs this evening and now it starts when i login. I cant figure out how to delete it and stop it. Its no longer in the Applications folder.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Remove it from >System Preferences...>Accounts>Your Account>Login Items.
Good luck!

Trivial program flickers on startup.

The following program flickers on startup - the field is sometimes displayed, then erased, then displayed again.
From the output to the error stream, it appears that the field is being painted, before the frame has even been. It's not surprising then that it gets erased when the frame is painted for the first time. This happens after the frame is made visible.
Indeed. I've got around it with a hack which consists of having JTextField's paint method ignore the request if the frame hasn't been painted.
But why does this happen?
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.Container;
import java.awt.Graphics;
public class Flicker implements Runnable {
     public static void main(String args[]) {
          SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Flicker());
     public void run() {
          JFrame jf = new MyFrame();
          jf.setSize(800, 800);
          Container jfcp = jf.getContentPane();
          jfcp.setLayout(null);
          JComponent jtf = new MyTextField();
          jtf.setLocation(500, 500);
          jtf.setSize(jtf.getPreferredSize());
          jfcp.add(jtf);
          jf.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
          System.err.println("Setting frame visible");
          jf.setVisible(true);
     class MyTextField extends JTextField {
          @Override
          public void paint(Graphics g) {
               System.err.println("JTextField paint called");
               super.paint(g);
          MyTextField() {
               super("Field text");
     class MyFrame extends JFrame {
          public void paint(Graphics g) {
               System.err.println("JFrame paint called");
               super.paint(g);
          public void update(Graphics g) {
               System.err.println("JFrame update called");
               super.update(g);
}

OK, FWIW, what I've surmised is this. When the JFrame is set visible, a PaintEvent is posted to the event queue. Then, when the swing component's repaint methods are called, the RepaintManager posts an InvocationEvent to run some code that will call the components' paint(Graphics) methods.
The problem is that InvocationEvent events have a higher priority than PaintEvent events, so when the code constructing the component graph completes, the first event that gets dispatched is the one for the RepaintManager, which accordingly paints the components. Then finally the paint event is dispatched, and the frame paints itself and its children.
A workaround, of sorts, is to set the frame visible as soon as it has been constructed and had its size and position set, and then to defer the rest of the code to a point after the PaintEvent is dispatched. This can be done using an AwtEventListener, as shown below. The major downside is that adding such a listener may be prevented by a SecurityManager.
It becomes more fun when a layout manager is used for the frame, because it cannot be sized until all its descendant components have been added. The best I can think of is to add them all, pack the frame, then remove them again (or just their common ancestor), set the frame visible, and again wait for the paint event before adding them back.
I can only assume that everyone out there is using such fast machines that the flicker is not visible.

Running java program at windows startup

I need to run java program at startup and then it will continue to run in its own thread.
Any body having idea how to do that programmatically?
Zeeshan

This is one option but this is not feasible in my scenario as this application will be running over a network which involves hundreds of computer so is there any way to do it programatically?
I mean if I can load java class file through an exe file then I can load my class file in the startup using C++.
Any Suggestions.
thanks for the help
regards,
Zeeshan

How can I add a program to the Startup program

When I copy a program that I want to add, I don't get a Paste menu item when right-clicking Startup menu item found when clicking Start and All Programs, so I can't add it to the Startup program

I figured out a way to do this:
1- Copy the shortcut to the program (or the program's .exe (execute file)) you want to add to Startup
2- Right-click Startup (after selecting it in All Programs) and select Explore
3-In the file structure that opens, right-click Startup
4-Click Save.
P.S. '''alan_r''' Thanks for trying but your suggestion didn't solve it.

Prevent elevation message for some programs at windows startup

Hi
I'm using Windows 8.1 in a 2012 R2 Domain.
When my main computer starts, 3 Programs require elevation to run.
When I logon my adminstrator account I know the password but for my non administrator user, it's an issue.
Is it possible to setup startup of those programs to run without elevation or to type the password once for all lauches ?
Thanks for your answers,
Laurent

Hi,
In this situation, it means when you want to run this kind of applications, you need the administrative token, basically, this is designed by the application provider:

Autorun a program on computer startup

Hi all,
I have a doubt of how can I make a program autorun on windows startup (we'll leave Linux for later).
I have followed two ideas but in both cases I find the same problem.
- The first idea was to put an Icon on Start Menu / Programs / Startup. For this I have to search where this folder is and, to find it, I have to read the Windows registry.
- The second idea was to write directly on Windows registry so the program will start automatically on windows startup.
So to read or write the windows Registry I have to use JNIRegistry API (because Java itself has no other class to do it, instead a class that can read some certain points in the Registry that I don't need). I can import their classes (JNIRegistry) using a jar and develop with it. But a DLL it's needed too and I want to avoid them because I don't want to install DLLs on customers computers (this program is going to be distributed).
So, is there any other way to do these things avoiding the DLL thing or the need to read the Registry to find where de StartUp folder is?
Thanks in advance and if you don't understand it I'll try to explain better ;-)

Sorry, I thought that maybe it was not a especifically Swing thing and I have copied it here.
Delete it if you find it repetitive.

Why is Explorer.exe reading my program files at startup?

Every time I boot my computer, if I open Resource Monitor, I will inevitably find, under the "Disk Activity" section, the process explorer.exe "reading" my program files.
When I say "program files", I mean the executable files for applications stored in the "C:\Program Files (x86)" or the "C:\Program Files" directories.
Other files seem to get "read" a lot too. PNF files for example.
I have indexing turned OFF on all drives, and yet the process SearchIndexer.exe is almost always running too.

Hi,
Firstly, did you installed MSE in your system, this phenomenon can be caused by MSE security scanning disk.
Secondly, this problem can also be caused by 3rd program, it would be better to use AutoRuns to check system startup items if there is any 3rd process or dll file start with system.

ALL programs gone at startup C655D-S5228 satelitte

New laptop,sep 2011,took all day loading games,AVG, Zonealarm, other CD's,screensavors. Updated all, desktop the way I wanted, for trip to NM Thanksgiving. In morn,turned on, said it was recovering startups, had to wait. It ERASED ALL THE NEW PROGRAMS I INSTALLED, WHY? Live in OKC,traveled to NM for Holidays. Have Warranty, recovery disks, but they are at home, no good here. Bought at Office Depot, will call them here. Thanking you all kindly for any help you can give to me, Helene.

Thank you for your help, since we are now back in OKC, will take the laptop into shop, it is under warranty, only had it for 2 mths now. I kept it plugged into, and online using daughters wireless connection while in NM, plugged right into the car, keeping a few things I had re-downloaded in NM; it was FUN playing a few games on our 7 hr drive back home! I am sure Office Depot Tech will figure out whats up, and I already had the 4 recovery disks for him to use if he has to, and then will spend time again loading the games, etc back into it.
One great thing about having to redo this, is that I am becoming more and more familiar with my new hardly used laptop, so all is not a waste, right? Thank you again, God Bless! Helene

Program autostarts at Startup

I have a new Bose SoundTouch music system and have downloaded the SoundTouch app to my Mac. The app autostarts every time I reboot the system. I would like it only to start when I want it to run. I have checked my account Login items, and the app is not listed there. I have checked the startup folder in Library, and it is not listed there either. I have uninstalled the program using the Bose SoundTouch uninstaller and reinstalled the latest version of the program with no luck. I have searched out and removed every SoundTouch plist file I can find. No joy. Where else can I look? There is something hidden somewhere in OS X that is causing this to happen and I would like to find and remove it. I have contacted Bose and they are nice people to deal with but keep telling me that this is not supposed to happen with this app. The app has no preferences or settings to control startup at log in. They say this is an OS X issue. Any help would be appreciated.

You will need to make your user library visible. Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.
Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.
You might need to redo the View settings after an update.

Program loads at startup

How can I change a program or Safari so that it will not load at startup? I have a password app that I want to have not load while I test another!
Thx

First check System Preferences - Users & Groups and check to see Safari is not in the Startup apps, if it is then select it and click the - symbol below it. If it still starts then uncheck the box when you shut down that asks if you want all apps left open to re-start when you start up.
However why in the world are you shutting it down, simply put the machine to sleep or display to sleep (my favorite) and let the machine run 24/7, after nearly 8 years of Mac use that has been extremely stable for me.

Starting Program on Computer Startup

I have an executable LabView program that I would like to start running automatically when the computer is started. How can I do this? Thanks for the help.

In order to answer your question a few more details are needed. What is your OS? Are you using some flavor of Windows or some other OS? If Windows then you can start the program at login by including a shortcut in the Startup folder. You can access this by right clicking on the start button and clicking open and then going to the startup folder (which will probably be under the programs folder). Depending on the flavor of Windows you may be able to set the program to start for some users and not for others or to start for all users.

Premiere CC 7.2.2 Won't display in Source or Program window on startup (just grey)

Hey there,
When I load a recent project I am faced with a grey screen (on both source and program windows) and pressing play does nothing.
In this state, trying to load any clip also crashes premiere.
I have checked composite video is checked and enable transmit but I still get no playback.
I have however found a work around to fix the problem which seems to work but it is rather frustrating to have to do everytime i want to load the project.
The workaround I have found is to load a project without any footage in, then go media and clean the cache.
Now when I load the grey screen project, it generates new preview files and allows me to playback the timeline.
I have deleted all audio files and it still gives the grey screen and checked built in audio is set in preferences therefore feel it may not be an audio issue
I am not using any third party plugins but I do have warp stabiliser applied to some clips and then some nested so I can apply timeremapping.
I wondered if you have ever encountered a similar issue before and could help me find a way of working without the need to clean cache everytime.
Many thanks

I have tried this and sadle I get the same grey screen if I save and attempt to reload the project

All CC 2014 Programs Crashing on Startup

Hi All,
I'm having problem with the latest release of the Creative Cloud Suite. Every program I have downloaded crashes on start up. I followed suggestions on the troubleshooting page but none of them seemed to work. I tried signing out and signing back in... no luck. I updated all of my Nvidia graphics drivers.. still no luck. I ran into the same problem with the original CC release and I'm really getting frustrated with the cloud, as I never experienced these problems when the software came on disks. I've been seeing a lot of other people have been having these problems, and as much as I love Adobe's products, they should make sure it works 100% before releasing it.

For me all the CS6 Programs were running smooth then the CC programs ran OK but as soon as I upgraded to CC 2014 they all went to hell and crashed on start they just hang up for about 5-10 minutes before you can even do anything, Open a file, click on any tabs etc. Also the new version of Photoshop has issues when resizing files because now it has a preview which totally slows the process down immensly from what it used to be. I'm running Windows 8.1 64 Bit version with 24GB of DDR3 Ram and 96% allowed to Photoshop. My Operating system and programs are on an Intel Solid State Drive with a second Solid State Drive as my scratch disk (only used for scratch disk nothing else) and a separate 7200RPM 3TB Hard Drive used for saving files. CS^ ran ultra fast and smooth, now I'm waiting for all kinds of operations. The Text preview is also malfunctioning or is set up weird in the CC2014 because it automatically starts selecting fonts as I try and scroll down changing my current font selection without asking me to click first. CC2014 has too many bugs right now that need to be fixed. I'm probably going back to CS^ if I can but now CS6 is also acting up too could be CC2014 changed some of the preferences without my knowledge that could be affecting CS6 somehow? I may have to wipe the hard drive and start all over again and only load my CS6 Programs this time.
