Title: Cannot clear a script
Post by: kesannah on Wednesday 25 April 12 19:32 BST (UK)

Please can some kind soul tell me how I can stop a script running. I have tried

clicking "yes" to stop the script. It do so for a few seconds and then reappears.

I just cannot get rid of it.

Without information about the script it is impossible to answer your question.

Some scripts are run at start-up and rebooting will simply re-run the script.
Others are run when starting or exiting a program and may require the removal of the program.
Other scripts are run by viruses etc. The list goes on.

As with family history questions the more information giving the more accurate the reply.
Cheers
Guy
