Hi Lenny, In Windows 7, go to the start menu, and up arrow to All Programs and hit enter to open it. Next, up arrow once or twice, then press the letter S until you come to Startup, and press enter to open it. I have never had a shortcut for Dropbox in this folder which in itself doesn't mean anything, but if you find one here, simply select it, then press the applications key or Shift +F10 to open the context menu, and choose delete and press enter. Alternatively, you can start Dropbox, and then press enter on it's icon in the system tray, and choose preferences from the resulting menu. When the preferences dialogue opens, you should be able to tab to the option to start Dropbox when the computer starts, and uncheck the box.
HTH, Rick Justice Tomorrow's another day, another way! and if tomorrow never comes, problem solved! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lenny McHugh" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, May 14, 2016 8:13 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] how to stop drop box David, using win 7 32 bit. In previous versions I had no problem finding the start menu item list. After an hour or so I surrender. -----Original Message----- From: David Ferrin Sent: Saturday, May 14, 2016 11:21 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] how to stop drop box Drop box traditionally puts an entry in your startup folder on the start menu. If you can navigate to that location all you would need to do is delete the shortcut. If you need further directions get back along with the version of windows you are currently running. -----Original Message----- From: Lenny McHugh Sent: Friday, May 13, 2016 10:16 PM To: JFW List Subject: [JAWS-Users] how to stop drop box Some time back I installed drop box. I am trying to get it to automatically starting. I used msconfig and removed it from the start up tab. A few days later it is back. I have done this several times and do not see anywhere that reinstalls it. I did not want to totally remove it in case there is a time when I may want to use it. --- Please visit my web page It’s motivational, inspirational with a touch of humor There is also a very extensive resource list for the blind http://www.LennyMcHugh.com International Brotherhood of Magicians member #43990 For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
