I recently installed AOO 3.4 on Windows 7. For some reason, it always

System Start-Up" not selected.
Any ideas about how to stop it starting?
tnx jk
One thing I have noticed on my computer that is different from the
OOo.3.3 is that AOO 3.4 has a Quickstarter for Linux. I very seldom
shutdown or reboot my computer. But when I log out of one user's home
directory to go to another, AOO opens. This happens every time I do
this.
Since this is the only change I have made, I believe that
this may be the cause. Further proof: I disabled quickstarter, logged
out, and logged back in. AOO did not start.
I have LibreOffice on my Linux systems. However, I have supposedly
disabled the quick starter with that setting I menitoned. Previously,
even with the quick starter enabled, the OO didn't open until you wanted
it to.
I forgot to mention that when I used OOo with Windows 98SE with the
Quickstarter. As you wrote, OOo did not open of start up unless it was
listed as one of the programs to do so. Quickstarter would not do that
by itself.
The only thing that I can suggest it to disable the Quickstarter
and then restart your computer. If AOO starts on bootup, then there is
something else going on. If it doesn't start on bootup, then that was
the problem.
Disabling Quickstarter worked for me in Linux, and it might also
work for you in Windows.
Does the msconfig still work in the Command line in Windows? It use
to have a tab containing the programs that should open on bootup. Just a
thought.
I checked that misconfig and AOO is not listed. The computer has been
booted several times since I veriftied that setting was turn off. In
fact, I have never turned it on. Also, it appears to affect only one user.
