Rain Meter General Settings?

Post by daadj »

Hello..

I am new to Rain Meter..
and i have learned enough regarding themes and configuration n bla bla..

However, i need to know how can i change the general settings of rain meter..
e.g
I want to know:

1-How can i stop rain meter to run when windows boot up..??
i want to start it manually whenever i feel like..

I remember the option with which rain meter prompted me during installation.. it asked whether rain meter should start with windows boot up... and i clicked yes!

Now want to change it...

Help!!! :???:

Just remove the shortcut to Rainmeter from the "Startup" folder in your Windows start menu.

The one on my desktop image is my own creation, and not really done in a way that it can be distributed. However there are lots of "speedfan" skins on devArt:

Hello JSMorley.

I hope that's your name.. if not, pardon me!

U had asked me to remove the Rainmeter folder from the start menu, i did that!
But rainmeter still launches when the windows start...

Removing the start folder has not proven productive!

:confused:

That is actually not what I said to do at all...

"Just remove the shortcut to Rainmeter from the "Startup" folder in your Windows start menu."

Re-install Rainmeter over top of what you have now, so you get back the Rainmeter folder in the start menu, then carefully read again what I said to do...

Easy way is to download Raunmeter, but during installation uncheck 'Automatically start with Windows'.

Would that remove it on an existing install if it is already there in Startup?
