So today, then I got home from school, I turned on my computer, and when the desktop was loaded, it started to play this random song from my music album on Windows Media Player.
And i'm like what the fuck are you doing?
Why does this happen? even after I delete the song, it still plays at startup, this is pissing me off.
Help Facepunch! what do I do?
Ok, it looks like you're running Windows XP.
Go into the start menu, open Run, type in "msconfig" (without the quote marks), hit run.
A new window should pop up. Go into the startup tab.
Look for something that says "Windows Media Player", "wmp" or anything with .bat on the end, or something similar. Uncheck that box and restart.
If that doesn't work, go into the start menu, all programs and there should be a folder in there called startup, look for similar things in there and remove them.
If all else fails, download Malware Bytes Anti Malware and do a full scan, and the same with Microsoft Security Essentials, or your preferred anti virus.
How do you know it is from WMP?
Maybe somebody changed your startup sound? That is easy to change. Just google How to change startup sound on XP or something like that.
Hmm, facepunch seems to have changed what my OS is, but its not windows xp, its Windows 7
Pretty much the same for XP and 7.
Not much difference, instead of using run just type msconfig into the search bar of the start menu and select the first option that comes up. Should be the right one.
win + r -> msconfig

I chose to avoid that because when helping someone with problems like this, it's always best to use the simplest methods. Key combinations over complicate problems for some users. Sink to the lowest option for most, unless you are familiar with the users.

You can use the search box as a run dialog.

Result (on my system of course):

type "system configuration" on start menu. Go to start up, and uncheck any software that you dont want it to start when you are starting your OS.
