The file sharing program may be on there because your boss wants access to files on your computer.

And perhaps they want it on there and wants it to start up when it starts.

Since this is your work computer and your boss put it on there, why not just tell them of the problem and get them to fix it, if it isnot working they way they want it to.

Programs on a work computer should never be changed without the bosses permission

Hi,
I fully agree with Fr_Chuck's answer, about talking with your boss.
This is a work computer, and the boss' computer. She can do with it as she wishes. I would talk with her, and ask if she really needs it on there.
Best of luck.

Do Start > Run, type in 'msconfig', click on the Startup tab, see if the program is set to load automatically there. It's safe to uncheck the box in msconfig and reboot, you can always put the checkmark back in if the boss wants it that way.

With Limewire open, go to
Tools > Options

Click Connections on the left, then uncheck the box that says Connect at Startup.

Click Apply.

Now click the little plus sign next to Advanced, on the left, and click on System Startup.

Make sure the Run on System Startup box is NOT checked, and click Apply.

Click OK, exit LImewire and reboot your computer.

That should take care of it if it's not showing at msconfig.

What version of Limewire is it?

avel · Jan 11, 2006, 05:42 PM

I guess it the latest version 4.10... but before that the version is 4.9.33... I tried to reinstall it but no used... still coming automatically... :( oh!! Additional info it also exit the program automatically but start again in a few minutes then exit then start again and so on...

Ugh. At this point I'd try an uninstaller app like ashampoo (free trial) or Easy Uninstaller (It's free).

As I have said I already installs it then install again but there's no changes, but if I'm going to uninstall it completely my boss's daughter will get mad at me... cause she's the one using it she don't want other program cause limewire is the most faster...

And as rickj said that two soft you mentioned what's in there that might help me, it's a program uninstaller right but what is the diff'rent using uninstaller program instead of using add/remove in windows control panel... :confused:
