Hello everybody,

it's quite a while that every time I start Windows there comes the question "How do you want to open that file" and I don't know what this file is... It's called like me "Julian" and there is no program I can open it with. So please some one tell me how to get rid of this file. I even don't know where it is...

Thank you
Julian

Hi

If you use CCleaner you can look in the Tools, Startup tab and see what's in the Windows Startup List. as well.
If you want to stop something all you have to do is click disable it, it can be restarted at any time.
