Can I start firefox without starting anything else on Windows XP Prof. for e.g. explorer.exe??

August 20th, 2008 · 1 Comment

I want firefox to start in the fuller fullscreen when I start windows XP Prof.
I have made my own superhomepage, in wich I can start all my programs and games etc. Made my own mediaplayer in the webpage etc, fully working..
Well, I know explorer.exe is very important, but you know what I mean? I just want only to use firefox.exe, nothing else may startup.

Why I think it IS possible in a way:
When you run a anti-virus program like Spybot Search&Destroy, sometimes, when u have a virus, and SD cant remove it, it starts up before anything else when you logon again on ur computer. Is something like that possible for firefox too?
Ok I got it, I know now how to change it, so, what would be handy is: How can I now change the order of loading, so that my program will load first, and then the rest never loads?

      In the registry there is a set of keys that contain the processes you want to be started on startup.

      This website: http://www.pctools.com/guides/registry/detail/109/ explains how to get an application running on startup. I don't know whether you can disable explorer.exe from running as windows sees it as quite important.

      I don't know about setting the order of loading, but if you want to stop other programs from loading just delete the registry key in that list. Be careful though, you don't want to delete something vital although the list I referred to earlier is usually just normal programs - no system processes.
