Control opens @ boot up

from Stardock Forums

Hello, Working but whenever I start windows, the control panel opens for CursorFX then I click on Apply and close.

That is, I have ObjectDock with the option of starting program when windows start and working fine w/o having a control panel open up.

Just want CursorFX to start up w/o having control openening up unless that's supposed to happen.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

When you installed Cursor FX was there an option to have the control panel open at startup?

As I remember, if I do not put CursorFX in start up, it will not start and have to start program manually.

I don't recall seeing such an option like ObjectDock whereas it does have an option for starting when windows start.

BTW, it's Win 7 64 bit.

I've used CFX for several years and lost count of the number of installs, but I have never had to add CFX to start up.  If a cursor is applied on shutdown,it has always reapplied itself on stsrtup. This is on XP SP3, Vista 32 and 7/64. Try taking it back out of start up. The control panel isn't shouldn't be needed unless you want to change the cursor.

Do Not put CursorFX in the startup folder. It will start automatically, with the last cursor you used.

 

There is your problem. Take it out, you'll have a cursor at startup, but no CFX window to deal with.

Ok...thanks guys for the input. This time it worked w/o shortcut in startup menu!

When first installed and rebooted, it would show the default cursor rather than the chosen selection in CursorFX.

That's why I brought this problem to you for a solution. Now all AOK.
