Matahajas Posted May 28, 2011 Report Posted May 28, 2011 I have un-clicked the option to start uTorrent at system start (Preferences/General), clicked Apply and Ok. The setting has been saved and is in place.I have also checked msconfig (Vista) and uTorrent is not in the list of autostart programs.Still, uTorrent starts itself every time I reboot the machine! It prevents me from accessing the web while waiting and the process is dreadfully slow. My pc is up and running, but I have to wait for 2-5 minutes before all is ok.
moogly Posted May 28, 2011 Report Posted May 28, 2011 Are you sure µT is able to read/write the file settings.dat in the directory %appdata%\utorrent?Because this file saves your settings, so maybe it's not saved after each time you quit µT.
Matahajas Posted May 28, 2011 Author Report Posted May 28, 2011 How can I check this? The settings themselves are saved, everytime I look they are ok like I left them. And uT is not listed among the autostart progs either... if it's not, how can it autostart on its' own??
moogly Posted May 28, 2011 Report Posted May 28, 2011 If settings.dat is saved so it's not the source of your issue.Can you test with a fresh setting.dat (make a backup copy of the old one, delete it then start µT and make a test)
Matahajas Posted May 29, 2011 Author Report Posted May 29, 2011 Hmm so where do I find the settings.dat and how do I manually edit it?Thanks for the the help so far!
moogly Posted May 29, 2011 Report Posted May 29, 2011 Folder %appdata%\utorrent. And you know there is a file search engine in Windows Explorer.
