Running XP on a Dell laptop. Whenever the machine starts up, Control Panel opens... Cold boot / warm boot - doesn't matter... Anybody know how to stop this from occurring? There's nothing in Start Up... I cannot find anything in MSConfig...
Download Autoruns for Windows: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/s.../bb963902.aspx
No installation required.
Simply unzip Autoruns.zip file, and double click on autoruns.exe file to run the program.
Go File>Export As, and save AutoRuns.txt file to know location. Attach the file to your next reply.
Yes. For some reason, on Dell computers, when you uninstall connection manager, it causes Control Panel to open on computer startup.
Reinstall it, and it should fix the problem.
Wow... You're right... That has got to be the STUPIDEST thing I've ever seen..... Oh well, now I know not to uninstall that... Thanks for the heads-up!!
