A lot of program manufacturers intend to design their products to load automatically at Windows start up in order to make greater profits. Actually, this way could not raise their sales but only force the customers to use more time to load Windows. Sometimes unfortunately, Windows system may be shutdown without any error messages and your disk files may get lost without your permission.
Here are two available methods to solve the problem. The first method prevents programs from loading for the current user. The second method prevents programs from loading for all users. Instructions for both methods are listed below.
