The reason for doing this is to be greeted by a quote when the computer is started up.
First create a GUIquotes shortcut by right clicking on GUIquotes.exe and select Create Shortcut.
For XP.
For Vista/Win7/Win8/Win10.
To stop the program from running at startup, locate the Startup folder in the Start Menu, click the Startup folder to expand it, then right click on the GUIquotes shortcut and select Delete.
For Linux GUIquotes needs to be added to one of the system startup files. However which startup file can depend on both the desktop and shell being used. So check the distributions documentation to determine the proper file. Some distributions have a configuration program that has an option for specifying programs to run at startup which might be easier than figuring out the file.
To stop the program from running at startup whatever was done to add the program to the startup files will need to be undone.
