Depending on the new entry of the software at the time of installation, some softwares add an entry in the Run folder in the Registry. If you know how to tweak the registry and modify the values so as not to run the software you know how to stop a software from executing at StartUP. Playing with the registry is dangerous and you should always have a backup of it before doing any changes.

Somethings seem HARD to do, until we know how to do them.

But if I do not only do such task. For example,when I insert an USB device,a special software will launch,that's also should be turned off.How to reslove such new task?

Programs can be started on 3 levels

1. In the starup folder of the user.
These are link files which can be deleted. I think you can find the folder with the function SHGetKnownFolderPath[^]

2. There are 2 places where programs can be starten from the registry
HKCU/SOFTWARE/MICROSOFT/WINDOWS/CURRENTVERSION/RUN
HKLM/SOFTWARE/MICROSOFT/WINDOWS/CURRENTVERSION/RUN

3. Last place: The services.
These program2/services can be started according to there startup settings: manual, automatic, disabled.

Hope this is helpfull

There are loads of autorun places - Have a look at the AutoRuns utility on www.sysinternals.com.

If you mean a specific program, and you know how *it* autostarts, then it should be simple. For the more general case? Harder.

Yes,I know which program I want to turn off its auto run.

You said this three times and it still makes no sense. Do you or do you not know how to remove a value from the HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run key?

This has nothing to do with the aforementioned key. Likely, some service is running that is monitoring all USB activity. Does the USB device have any programs on it that could be auto-running?

Change your font just before writing.

For that you can use CreatePointFont (...), and then select it in your CDC beore writing.

If you want to change the font of a control. You have to change it directly in the control (one of the best places is on the OnInitialUpdate ().

Anyways. You can set the font for the whole View in the CMainFrm or in the CChildFrm. When the window is create, by the PreCreateWindow (...)
