    Hi All,

    Does anybody know how to load the toshiba wireless switch utility before loading other applications when the system starts. I mean it has to load first so that It resolves the reconnecting to internet problem. Now everytime I start the FZ notebook, the internet get connected and after 1 minutues toshiba wireless swith utility comes and disconnect the internet connection to connect again.
    I think it may create some problem I some automatic downloads (ex: windows update etc) are started.

    Regards
    Raj

    No, but I have kind of a cheesy workaround. I don't use the BT/LAN switcher all the much, and so would rather not have it running at all unless it's needed. After searching for a while and never finding out what starts it up, I finally just renamed \Program Files\Sony\Wireless Switch Setting Utility\Switcher.exe to Switcher1.exe.

    Now the startup program can't find it, but I never see any errors and everything works just fine.

    To complete the puzzle, I created a shortcut to Switcher1.exe on the desktop so now I can run the utility when I need to switch settings.
