Can't get Windowblinds to stop Loading on Startup

October 23, 2003 5:50 AM from

I can't find out how to disable Windowblinds from loading when I startup my computer. I can't find any options to disable in the Windowblinds configuration and even in the System Configuration Utility, the option isn't given to me under the "startup" tab. Anyone know how?

From the Help file...................

Loading on startup

By default, WindowBlinds will set itself to load on startup when a WindowBlinds skin is selected. Select the Windows Classic skin (at the top of the list) or check the checkbox on the Skins tab to not load on startup. Note: this checkbox is not present on Windows XP. Select Windows Classic or the included Windows XP Style to prevent WindowBlinds from loading.

Because I'm using XP, does that mean that every time I shut my computer down, I have to change back to the "Windows Classic" in order for Windowblinds not to load a skin that I was previously using?

Yep, that's right. Why do you want to disable WB at startup? (just curious)

Can't save you more than a few seconds, and you'll have ugly windows............. hardly seems worth it.
