Dont want WB to run on start up! Plz help lol

from Stardock Forums
I love Window blinds. I only have version 4.6. I have an older pc thats why. But I might be able to handle 5.
But Before I buy that I need to know how to keep it from running on start up. I have an AV prog that uses alot of my resources and other junk that I cant keep from running on start up. Once it finally is up and running I shut some of the other stuff down. And that is where I would turn Window blinds on manually.
I have to run the AV and for now I am stuck with Itunes which for some reason came with 4 things that run on start up! Also I had wanted to try the trial of Winstep. And I cant have both those progs trying to run at the same time while windows is loading. My computer will not know what to do on startup it will Clash big time.
If I cant find the solution I will have to uninstall WB and I don't want to do that. I do love WB.
I would be grateful if someone could point me in the right direction. I know it probably has an option somewhere on it running on start up or on manual but I cant find it anywhere. Of course that happens alot to me lol.

WBconfig - set skin to Classic/XP Style - apply

You just have to switch to the default XP skin to prevent it from loading on startup.

With WB 4.6, there indeed is an option to prevent WB loading at startup. It is in Display Properties on the Appearance Tab as I recall - a checkbox near the bottom of the dialog.

Subsequent versions require you to change to Luna or Classic in WBConfig itself in order to "unload" WB.

It can help your performance if you slip down the amount of thing that automatically start on start up.

Click on "run" in start panel, type msconfig and go to "Startup". There you can un-select a great many things that you don't need on startup.
