Spotify Starts Automatically (Windows)

Spotify automatically opens when I log-on to my computer and this slows everything down significantly. I've looked everywhere and through the current help topics, but can't figure out how to get it to stop. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi there welcome to the community:-)
This is very easy to fix, just go to preferences and go to "Open Spotify automatically after you log into the computy".
Select the third radio button "Don't open automatically".

In windows 7, how to make firefox start automatically when I turn on the computer

In Windows 7, how to make Firefox start automatically when I turn on the computer. Note, I am asking how to do this with Windows 7, not xp, not vista.

You need to place a shortcut to open Firefox in the Start > Programs > Startup folder.<br />
That is basically the same in all Windows versions.

Oracle 8.1.7 on windows 2000 don't start automatic :(

Why Oracle 8.1.7 don't start automatic on windows 2000 :(
Services
Oracleora3Agent
Oracleora3DataGatherer
Oracleora3TNSListener
OracleServiceORA3
are started autamatic. (ora3 is SID)
if I execute command "startup open" in Server Manager (svrmgrl), then DataBase started

I've got the same problem.
However, I've found that if I set the OracleServiceXXX startup to manual, If I then issue a net start statement it works OK.
i.e NET START OracleServiceXXX
Hope this helps.

Windows listener service will not start automatically

I just installed 11.2.0.3 Standard Edition One and when I reboot the server, the listener service is not started. The service is set to start Automatically. I have to login, open services and then push start.
The oraceServiceSId does start automatically,
The listerner service does not start automatically,
The dbconsole service does not start automatically,
The processManger1 service (from middleware) does not start automatically
This is Windows 7 64 bit.
Any ideas?

I found where the services logs are recorded in the event viewer. Funny thing just happened, I was just about to do another reboot so I could check the logs when I noticed there were window updates in q.
So after running the updates, the os requested to reboot . For the first time, the services started automatically.
These are the updates which fixes the probem:
Security Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB2639417)
Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 9 for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB2618444)
Security Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB2620712)
Cumulative Security Update for ActiveX Killbits for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB2618451)

Windows listener +service does not start automatically eventhough Automatic

Hi
When I restart the database server, the listener is not starting automatically , so as the service.
Both are set to start automatically.
This was working before and all of a sudden, this problem appeared.
I dont remember changing any setting on the database side but on windows server side, not sure if anything is changed.
The error we received:

So now we have to manually restart the listener and service , for the database to be opened. Is it possible to give direction what areas need to check, to solve this issue?
Thanks.

Hi Krithi,
Can you confirm my understanding here:
* Since a short time the automatic startup of the listener and Oracle instance fail.
* You can manually startup the listener and database instance without any problem, and then all runs as expected
so far so good?
What's your procedure to start the listener and DB instances?
Are you performing the startups with your own user account, or SYSTEM, or a dedicated Oracle account?
Are the windows services running under SYSTEM, a dedicated Oracle user....??
Could it be that the system administrator installed something (like a new Oracle client) which would have changed some settings?
Can you compare the environment variables (ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID, PATH) between the account YOU use for manual startup and those for the user account used to (auto)start the services?
Maybe you can try to plan a reboot after you have set the problematic services to run under your profile?
Well.... a few points to investigate if not yet considered.
HTH,
Thierry

In windows 7, how do I make firefox start automatically when I turn on the pc

That worked, thanks. When I turn on the pc, I almost always go to the internet before anything else, so this eliminates one step. It doesn't seem to save any time, however, but it is easy. If anyone else wants to try this, it looks like it's very easy to undo if you change your mind.

Verizon Media Manager will not start automatically with Windows, even though it is set to do so.

Verizon Media Manager will not start automatically with Windows, even though it is set to do so. This started with the latest update. I see that the desktop icon for Media Manager now has a security shield on it, and it requires UAC confirmation when you start it, which I don't remember the old version doing.
One thing I noticed, msconfig.exe shows that "C:\Program Files\Verizon\McciTrayApp.exe" is set to start at Windows startup, but the desktop icon used to start Media Manager manually has a target of ""C:\Program Files\Verizon\Verizon Media Manager\Release\Verizon Media Manager.exe" Verizon Media Manager".
I don't remember what the previous version was, but this one is 9.4.86. It asked me if I wanted to update it a few days ago, and I said yes.
I am running Windows 7 Home Premium.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Try setting the startup option to off and then to on again. It looks to be pointing to a wrong location.
Attached is a partial screen shot of my msconfig setting.

After Upgrade, Windows Service will not start automaticly

I just upgraded from 10.2 to 10.4. When I did the Windows File Service, will not start automaticly. I can start it manually, after a reboot. Any idea on how to fix this?

I am having the same problem on a clean install of Server 10.4.10, AFP & Web starts automatically on restart, but not Windows Service. This is the first time I have run into this, it starts fine on all other servers I administer. Then entry in /etc/hostconfig for SMBSERVER is set to "-YES-", there is no errors or messages of any kind in the console or system log, it just won't start.
This complicated with the problem I am having on the same server where I cannot connect via ARD after reboot without someone there physically plugging a monitor into the video port first (another open post I have - http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=5850246#5850246 ). So, doing maintenance at off-hours is almost unworkable.

Application should start automatically as soon the user logs into windows.

Hello All,
I have a requirement.
I am developed a time sheet application using web dynpro. This application is configured on the portal & is working fine. Now, I want to make some changes, may be at Portal Content side or Application side, but want this -
As soon as the User loges into the Windows with user id & password, this timesheet application residing on the portal should start automatically and should record the time. Similarly, if the user shuts-down, the application should again record the time. Thus giving the actual time the user worked.
Please reply. Thanks.
Best Regards
Chander Kararia

Hello Satyajit,
Below are the comments on your queries.
1. It would be better if the application starts silently. But, in case, if we choose other way i.e the browser opens automatically and displays the application (expecting the button needs to be clicked by the user) that will also do.
2. In case of system shut-down, I am still to come up with some materialized concept. But, here are few ideas...
a). The application should check if the time entry is available for the current date. If so, should display the text for LogOut only. This will make user understand not to hit it.
b). It should keep on accepting all the sessions (logging & logout) n number of times for the current date.
I would prefer (b) as a better option.
If you have some more conceptual idea, please suggest.
Best Regards
Chander Kararia

Howto prevent Oracle XE 11g from start automatically in windows ?

I complete the installation of OraceXE 11g in windows, noticed it start automatically on the next boot. I wonder if there is a way to run a configuration setting to let the application start on boot or not.
Yes I can go to the services and disable, but just wondering if there was a configuration tool to make it easier.
THX Dino.

Hello Dino,
you could take a look at the sc.exe, as decribed in this [url http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;251192]MS Knowledge Base Article, e.g.
sc config OracleServiceXE start= demandNote that there really must be a blank between start= and the value for that option.
Simply run this for any Windows service you don't like to start automatically.
The KB-article gives you any additional information you may need.

Stop Skype from starting automatically on Windows 7

Hello, I have seen some information regarding how to stop Skype from starting automatically on Macs, but for Windows 7, I have yet to see any information. If someone could provide me an answer as to how to stop Skype from opening as soon as I start my computer, that would be great. Thanks.

Spotify always starts automatically even when asked not to.

Hello, I am running Windows 7 Professional. Can you please correct the Spotify desktop application so it does not keep forgetting my preference to NOT start when Windows starts. If I set it to "no" in the advanced settings, it conveniently forgets this and starts anyway, at which point upon returning to the settings I find that it has been changed back to "yes" or "minimised". When I said no I meant no - I even removed it using MSConfig but it's still finding a way to start. I want to run it when I want to listen to music, not to have it sitting idle in the background clogging up resources when I'm not using it. Please fix or it's a fast track to uninstall.

After you have changed the preferences to "no" ,try deleting "prefs" file in "user"/AppData/Roaming/Spotify andWhen you run spotify.exe next time it should make a new "prefs" file with your "no" preference in it.

HelpPane.exe automatically starts with Windows 7 64bit.

HelpPane.exe automatically starts with Windows 7 64bit. I have to start task Manager and disable it or else it keeps popping up. I cant find where to disable this service from startup. Please Help.

Hello
I found a simple yet effective solution for this problem, my friend had the same issue so instinctively as a technician, I suspect this was a malware of somekind so I re-formatted and installed Win7 funny it's still there, so I did a Hard disk wipe using
Dalvik's and re-partitioned and formatted again, to my surprise it still have the same problem.
So I ask Mr. Goo' old Mr. Google for answer, but I've found more complications, sorry for the story, so without further a do, the solution.
Boot to safe mode. (may also work in "normal mode")
Go to Task Manager>
Click the Services Tab>
Right click "HelpPane.exe" or Help and support service>
Select Properties>
Click the Security tab>
Click the Advanced tab (for permissions options)
Then select the "permissions entries" one at a time>
Click Change Permissions>
Then click Edit>
CLEAR ALL THE CHECK BOX FOR ALL ENTRIES
This should prevent access to the HelpPane.exe to all users/programs.
This resolved my friends Windows 7 "Help and Support thingy" issue, hope it does yours too.
Message me for questions and/or clarifications/corrections.
Thank you
