Powerpoint starts automatically on start up

[Yusuf Khan]

Hi,
I have problem with powerpoint. Whenever my computer restarts, it automatically launches powerpoint. I want to disable it. Can anyone help?

Any and all suggestions are welcome.

It may be because of Microsoft update. Go to the restore point before updates. I hope it helps.

Follow these steps:

• Click the Start button
• In the All Programs list, right-click the Startup folder
• Then click Explore on the shortcut menu
• Click Organize to make changes for startup

In MSConfig untick the tick box that says hide all MS products. There are several programs available to turn off start up items.

I have finally found the solution to this problem, having tried all of the above and failed.

The problem is caused by Office Live Add-in 1.4.

Goto to Control Panel -> Add or Remove Programs -> Office Live add-in 1.4 -> Remove

Getting rid of Windows Live add-in 1.4 did the trick. Finally. Thanks!
