Disabling Roxio EZ CD Creator from Auto-Start up in XP

[MitzEclipse]

Anyone know how to do this? I just don't want it active _at all_ when the computer boots.

There's nothing in the startup group and no option to disable this 'feature' in Roxio's preferences or options.

Anyone know how to do the reg. tweak?

there's always msconfig (run-->msconfig-->startup tab)

2 things :

1) go to your startup folder (START---PROGRAMS---STARTUP) and remove the shortcut/link to EZCD Creator.

2) Rin MSCONFIG, go to the startup tab, look for EZCD, deselect it, apply, and reboot (it will make you reboot).

Upon reboot, you'll get a message saying something to the effect of "systems settings have been changed...". Select the box thast says "never show this again" and select OK.

These 2 steps should be followed for ALL programs that you want to deactivate on boot.

if Im not mistaken.. i thought you could just rightclick the logo in your systray (down by the clock) and select disable

not sure.. because I havent used ez cd in quite some time, since nero can do pretty much everything (and better)

That usually only works for that initial session - meaning on next reboot, it will be back. Once in a while, a program will give you the option to disable on boot via the right-click (I think AIM does now, for example).
