jEdit 4.3.2 delays Windows XP startup

Submitted by tomasio on Saturday, 28 August, 2010 - 09:05

I am using jEdit on a PC with Windows XP SP3 installed. Since I have upgraded to jEdit 4.3.2 after booting a jEdit Splash Screen appears which seems to delay the startup process of Win XP. My girlfriend has the same Splash Screen when she logs in with her user account - would it be possible to deactivate this unwanted pre-loading at least on her user account?

Thank you for your advice.

kind regards,

The jedit windows installer has an option to load the jedit server component (the whole jEdit without a view/window) already when Windows starts up. This option is enabled by default.

So You have 2 options:
1. Un-install jedit and then re-install jedit with this option disabled.
2. In Registry Editor, goto the key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run" and remove the item "jEdit Server"

Thank you!

Hi Robert,

editing the Registry was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for your valuable answer.
