When I boot my system Media Manager comes up and takes as long as five minutes to check the hard drive.  I've checked the boxes in the interface to tell it to stop, but it still comes up the next time I boot.  How do I turn it off permanenetly?

System Info

Windows XP media edition, sp 2
1 Gb ram

If you run msconfig from start, run you should be able to disable it from starting - along with RoxWatchTray9 which is the real resource hog
If it ain't broke, fiddle with it until it breaks, then fiddle with it until you get it fixed

In addition, set all Roxio services to manual in Services applet:
click start, run, type services.msc, press enter or click OK

In the services window, scroll to each of the following in turn. If not aleready showing manual in startup type, double click on the service, in the startup type drop down box select manual, click apply, ok. To see the startup type column you may need to expand the services window to the right.

Liveshare P2P Server 9
Roxio Hard Drive Watcher 9
Roxio UPnP Renderer 9
Roxio Upnp Server 9
RoxioMediaDB9

This will prevent those services from starting when Windows starts, but they will start when called upon by one or other EMC 9 module.
