How do you stop startup programs? (dashwire)
 
I tried searching but couldn't find anything. I just installed dashwire and I like using it for texting but if I reboot my phone dashwire always starts up which I don't like. I checked for options to stop startup in dashwire but didn't see it. Any idea on how to stop it from starting up?

thank you, I found it and it was in there but everytime I delete it if I run dashwire again, it put's itself back in startup. I don't want to get rid of it, but I might have 2 if this is what it's going to do. How do I stop it from putting itself back in there?

I love Dashwire...

If you open dashwire, Click the menu key, and then click settings, it will allow you to change from automatically sync to manual sync.

You may have to stop any current syncs that may be occuring when you open it.

Good Luck.

I usually move those items to the disabled start up folder and it works for me. As long as the file is there it doesnt start when the phone is turned on, only when the program is opened.

I tried setting it to manual sync but then I have to press sync everytime which kinda defeats the purpose of the whole thing. If I don't press sync, nothing sends from the website and if I get a text it won't upload by itself set to manual. Where is the disabled startup folder? I didn't see it. If I set it back to auto-sync it goes back into startup folder after I delete it. Grrrr

We're sorry to hear your so frustrated! I can't speak to the exact steps for finding the disabled startup folder (I can't find my phone at the moment to check) but we have heard of people doing this. What exactly didn't you want DW opening up at start up for (out of curiosity). We're always looking for new potential features/settings.

It should be in your windows file. It's called StartUp.Disabled

I have a similar problem, just the extra lag it creates at start up and it brings up Dashwire immediately. I don't really need it starting up on every start up... only when I am connected to the web via my PC i will start it.

If it doesn't work, then you could try pointing the Dashwire startup shortcut to a different program. Keep the same filename, just change it's target.
