Start up items

I have been trying to remove Quicktime from my start up programs. I delete the entry under strart up but it always loads at start up. Occasionally I see a Tea Tmer pop up saying quicktime was allowed based upon my white list.

How do I remove a program from the start up permanently? What is my white list?

Hello.

White List.
Right click on the TeaTimer system tray icon and select "Settings". This will bring up TeaTimer's "White & Black List". There are four (4) Buttons across the top of the "White & Black List":

• Allowed processes
• Blocked processes
• Allowed registry changes
• Blocked registry changes

If you don't see all four buttons, try expanding the window to the right.

You can review all the entries that you have stored by clicking on these buttons. The entries that you should review are in "Blocked registry changes". You can delete entries by clicking on the scripted black "X" to the right of the entry that you want to delete and then clicking the "OK" button when you're done. This will in effect make TeaTimer forget what you told it to remember so that during future changes to these items TeaTimer will issue a pop-up dialog rather then just a notification pop-up.

Hope that helps.

Teatimer's white list contains items were you allowed a registry change and used (checked) "Remember this decision". Teatimer's black list contains items were you denied a registry change and used (checked) "Remember this decision".

If you checked "Remember this decision" on a change the information concerning that change it is stored in a file. TeaTimer uses that information to automatically "Allow" or "Deny" changes. To edit this information:

• Right click on the TeaTimer system tray icon and select Settings. This will bring up TeaTimer's "White & Black List". There are four (4) Buttons across the top of the "White & Black List":
  • Allowed processes
  • Blocked processes
  • Allowed registry changes
  • Blocked registry changes
    
    Note: If you don't see all four buttons, try expanding the window to the right.
  You can review all the entries that you have stored by clicking on these buttons. The entries that you should review are in "Allowed registry changes" and "Denied registry changes". You can delete entries by clicking on the scripted black "X" to the right of the entry that you want to delete and then clicking the "OK" button when you're done. This will in effect make TeaTimer forget what you told it to remember so that during future changes to these items TeaTimer will issue a pop-up dialog rather then just a notification pop-up.
  
  Remove Quicktime from the "Allowed registry changes" in TeaTimer's Black & White list. Then go into Spybot > Mode > Advanced mode > Tools > System Startup. Remove the startup entry for Quicktime. If you get TeaTimer pop-up dialogs answer them with "Allow change" and do not use the "Remember this decision".
  
  After removing the Quicktime entry and answering the TeaTimer messages, exit TeaTimer and restart it to refresh TeaTimer's snapshot files.
  
  TeaTimer takes snapshots of Registry entries and compares these with the Registry at startup. Until these snapshots are updated you are likely to get pop-ups (at startup) of changes you made in the past. In other words, TeaTimer attempts to return the Registry to the state it was in when the snapshot was taken. This happens primarily when you reboot the system. To refresh TeaTimer's snapshot files:
  • Right click Spybot's TeaTimer System Tray Icon > click Exit Spybot-S&D Resident.
    • TeaTimer closes.
    • TeaTimer's snapshot files are refreshed at this time.
  • Restart TeaTimer:
    • Using Windows Explorer, navigate to C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy.
    • Double click TeaTimer.exe to start it.

Thanks for the help. I have changed it.

Good, thank you for letting us know. :bigthumb:
