   Hi guys, not sure if anyone else has had this issue but I'm not quite sure how to prevent Pomodoro App from opening whenever my computer starts up. I've tried two things total.

   First, I just tried changing the option in Pomodoro's UI to stop it from starting up when I log in to Windows. Then, I opened up msconfig and removed it from the startup list. I even checked for a Pomodoro service, but found none.

   Both of these, whether done in conjugation with each other or separately, has the same effect as leaving it alone: Pomodoro starts up anyways after restarting.

   I'm using Windows 7, 64-bit.

   Any ideas on what to do?

   Two possible ideas - one, check Task manager's processes to see if you can figure out what is the offending program and then use MSConfig to block it. If you can find it, you can stop it right away.

   The other is CCleaner. It has an option similar to Vista's Defender's Software Explorer where you can block these things cleaner than MSConfig. I found it useful for stoping the Ask Updater (why need the updater when all the toolbars are disabled).

   Do you have any start up programs like Anvir Task Manager or Process Lasso? you can get free versions of both of these prograns and they are great from stopping unwanted programs from starting up when you don't want them; they are also easy to setup and use, plus you can get lots of information about the programs that are running on your computer.

   HERE's the free version of Process Lasso and HERE's the free version of Anvir

   Never mind! Apparently it just started up one more time after I removed it from msconfig's list, so I did fix it without knowing the second time I removed it from msconfig's list.
