Control Panel -> change startup programs -> disable the two Kontiki items.What a piece of shit is.OK Rafael Hi,

Appzo’s idea right, no reason to install more program to turn off Kontiki for current session.

30 seconds manually in Vista:

1. right click taskbar and click ‘task manager’
2. in ‘processes’ tab, right click KHost.exe and select ‘end process’
3. in the ‘services’ tab, click ‘services’ button at bottom, continue, scroll down to find entry for KService, right-click it and select properties, change start-up type to ‘disabled’ and click stop

To turn off permanently go into the control panel. Control Panel -> change startup programs -> disable the two Kontiki items.

What a piece of shit is.

OK
Rafael
