Don't Launch on Startp

Hello everyone, I recently purchased this amazing program. However when I turn on my PC, Multiplicity starts on startup. Is there a way to disable this? I still want to have the program installed and use it, I just don't want it open at the start.

I would also like that. I looked in all the usual places (registry; task manager->startup; startup folder). Actually, maybe in Services? Forgot to check there...

Hello,

Try disable services using msconfig. I did on my Windows 7 Machine. And It works. I think windows 10 also the same.

I wrote a batch file to stop the MP service if its running or start it if its not:

Just a quick on / off switch if you will...

Downloading it now, thanks. I was thinking of doing something similar with Autohotkey but haven't gotten around to it.

It would be nice if this were added as a check box in the control panel of the configuration 

[ ] Load on startup

[ ] Show Multiplicity in the system tray

...

I use it on my laptop when working from home with my desktop but when I'm using the laptop alone I don't want it to startup automatically on reboot.  Should be a fairly common use case.

 

Thanks for your script @sdRohan!

 

Greg.

It is best if you mentioned what issue you have or better yet start your own thread so we can help you more efficiently.
