Every time I reboot, the program PwManager pops up even though it was not there when Kubuntu was shut down and I don't remember ever bringing it up. How do I stop it from happening?

Re: Unwanted program on bootup
Press: "Alt-F2" to bring up the run command box.
Type (without quotes): "autostart"
That lets you set your accounts autostart applications. See if it is in there. If so, remove it. -

Re: Unwanted program on bootup
Maybe you don't have kcontrol-autostart installed. I try not to go this route, but open your home folder. In the address bar at the end of the current entry type ".kde/Autostart" (make sure as it is typed here). That is where your personal autostart items are. What is listed there? If it is that application you don't want, delete it.Comment

Re: Unwanted program on bootup
Tried Alt-f2 and same result as Helen1. Looked in .kde/autostart and see only text file ,directory which has "autostart" in many languages. What now?Comment

Re: Unwanted program on bootup
Are you sure you are in the correct Autostart directory? At least on my machine I've never seen different languages being listed (which I've found doesn't necessarily mean anything).
Correct Path: /home/(your username here)/.kde/Autostart <--- Autostart must start with a capital "A". Again that is how it is on my machines.Comment

PwManager. That is Power Manager, correct? Does it have an icon in the task Bar? Usually when you tell those to Quit from there it will ask if you want it to start on Log-in.Comment

Re: Unwanted program on bootup
Look here as well. Be carefull though. The only way to delete from here is to browse there as root by opening konqueror as root from ALT-F2 and entering "kdesu knoqueror".
