I hate the darn things. I have one in my name and it's a real pain.\n\nApplications written in SQL have a real problem with them too and usually error out if you include one.\n\n\nOther than that it's just plain lazy.

There are tree ways to uninstall/remove a program.\n1) Stop the program by right clicking on the icon in the taskbar and then try to uninstall in add/remove program.\n2) Boot your computer in safe mode by pressing F8 and selecting safe mode from the menu while restarting , then follow step 1.\n3) If you do not have an option to remove it in the add/remove window then Remove the program from startup menu as follows\n(start > run > type msconfig\npress ok.   Click on startup, uncheck it from the menu. click on apply. click on ok. press restart. Check the window that appears after restart, press ok)\nThen go to control panel > add/remove program to uninstall.\nIf nothing of the above works. Then The best way to remove unwanted programs which you can not remove from add/remove dialog in control panel on your computer is to remove it from registry. If you are comfortable with manually editing registry, otherwise use registry cleaning software like RegScrubXP to remove the entries of offending software from registry and then use a cleaning software like ccleaner to remove other files such as exes, dlls etc created by the offending program. \nFree RegScrubXP registry cleaner\nhttp://bestofrest.blogspot.com/2006/11/regscrubxp-registry-cleaner.html\n\ndownlod + install + run it.\nWhen you get in the software window.\nClick on user defined problems button.\nIt will display all entries in windows registry under different categories. So scroll down the list till you reach a category company. In this category look at the names in full key, and Main key. If you locate the name there, then check the box in front of its entry and press the button Fix selected entries. It should remove the entry from the registry.\nAfter that you will need another software to remove other files created by the program on your computer. It is ccleaner, if you do not have it already; read how to use it and then download it from here.\nhttp://yanswers.blogspot.com/2006/10/how-to-use-ccleaner.html

That's great that you took the initiative to learn, but what is your level of experience. Companies do not generally hire people with less than a few years experience actually coding.\n\nyour best bet is to design some programs that no one has though of before, and continue to advance. Create a website and offer the program for free. When it gets big start charging a small fee but in the mean time ask for tips..This is a proven method that has worked in the past. I'm refering to the creator of Startup Control Panel mike Lin http://mlin.net .  You could place a paypal logo right on your site to collect revenue. I have some other ideas as well, but that is for a later date. In the mean time come up with some ideas of programs that people need but dont have.\n\nGood luck, if you need help and want to shoot an idea by me visit http://www.fowlerit.com or email me shane@fowlerit.com

Exit from this one and create a new one just as you created the one that you have now. You just won't be using this present one anymore.

Don't use  MSCONFIG\n\nTo manage your startup programs, use\nhttp://www.snapfiles.com/get/starter.html\nor\nhttp://www.mlin.net/StartupCPL.shtml\nalso see = \nhttp://www.answersthatwork.com/Tasklist_pages/tasklist.htm

You would have to either write an interface between COBOL program and MS Access, or dump the data base to a text file and have COBOL read the text file. Either way, you would have to write the COBOL program.\n\nIf you are loading to a relational data base, just use Access.

A monumental task!\nHope yur not the sole programmer.\nI recommend staying with standard C or Cobol\nA comprehensive telecom billing system will atke you years to write.

Click Start, then run, type msconfig. goto start up tab, un check the program you don't want to start. then restart the system. when the cofig box reopens click normal start... your done...

This sounds a little like your job is being killed\nby a SIGHUP.  No guarantees, but you might want\nto start your program under "nohup".  For example,\nrather than:\n\n  yourcommand > results 2>&1 &\n\ntry:\n\n  /usr/bin/nohup yourcommand > results 2>&1 &\n\n[Obviously the syntax for redirection will be different\nif you use csh rather than sh/ksh.]\n\nIn any case, take a look at the man page for "nohup",\nsee the reference below.

CTRL+ALT+DELETE\n\nit will bring up a menu and you can select to close that program. Just wait and don't go click happy you will just make the probelms worse.

First if you want to quit your job have one already waiting on you to start. If you feel that you just don't want to drag yourself into that same old job anymore then start looking for a new one. Once you have your starting date set up give notice to your old one. Be happy.

i've had programs like that. bring up your task manager and look for the program running. find it and close it. once closed you should be able to delete it. if not, copy or move it somewhere else on your drive like my docs or somethnig. next time your computer starts the prog won;t be there and it won;t run. then you can delete.
