How to prevent KDE to load at Windows start ?

[Aitor Pazos]

Anne, I think that Maurice is talking about a kde installation running on windows (kdeinit4.exe). I´m not sure as I don´t run kde on windows but u should check for kdeinit4.exe entries on windows registry. Run regedit command and check on these two paths:([HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE][HKEY_CURRENT_USER])/Software/Microsoft/Windows/Startup/. Anyway, I´m sure someone else can give you more certain indications.

The details vary from one hardware brand to another, but here is the
general plan of what happens.

When you boot up you usually see a splash screen that tells you to use
F2 or Del to access the Bios settings.  After that the screen often
goes black for a couple of seconds, maybe with a still white cursor in
the top left corner.  Then the cursor starts to blink.  At that point
you have maybe 3 seconds or less to interrupt it.

When you think it's about to get to that point, hit the down-arrow,
tapping it slowly until the screen changes.  From your wording I
assume that you are dual-booting, so when you do that you will see the
option to boot into Windows.

If this isn't what you need, tell us a bit more and we'll see if we
can get you where you want to be :-)
