How to Stop Autorun in Powerpoint
Microsoft's PowerPoint is a slide-show creation utility that is a part of the Office productivity software suite. If PowerPoint is "auto-running" on your computer, that means that it is loading automatically when Windows starts up. While that may be beneficial if you use PowerPoint often, if you don't, it is only an annoyance. If you want to stop PowerPoint from auto-running, you can use the "msconfig" utility.
