Default Disable at startup?
Hello

How can I disable Limewire at startup, please.

If I go to Start | Run and type in msconfig (in XP) and select the StartUp tab, what I am supposed to be looking for?

Many thanks.

I do not like the way LW suggests to do that at initial setup, but it's not the only gnutella program that does that.
Go to your LW menu bar, Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> System, uncheck option for 'Run LW on System Startup'.

Hello LOTR

Many thanks for your reply.

Is it not possible to disable it through msconfig?

Cheers

I'm not sure myself. Though the setting I gave should do the trick. If not, then you may have picked up a virus ... one or two viruses show that behaviour that LW starts up at system startup.
