    Has our Terry had a brainstorm again and missed the cartoon, ‘koz I don’t see it! :-)
    Don’t think it’s me, as I can see the other images.

    When I installed Skype (and other free downloads like stickies) they automatically startup when my computer goes through the startup process. How can I stop this? I would like to choose when to use these programs and not have them start automatically.
