SQL Server on startup 7

When I boot my Windows 7 there's always a process that starts up called 'SQL Server Windows NT - 64 Bit'.
When I take a look in msconfig I can't find it.

Does somebody know how to stop that process from starting up?

Thanks.
 
Lets find out what processes are loading at startup.


Download the HijackThis installer from here.
Run the installer and choose Install, indicating that you accept the licence agreement. The installer will place a shortcut on your desktop and launch HijackThis.

Vista and Windows 7 users must right click on the hijackthis icon and click on run as. If the run as option doesn't appear then press and hold the shift key while right clicking on the icon to get it to appear.



Click Do a system scan and save a logfile

Most of what HijackThis lists will be harmless or even essential, don't fix anything yet.

Post the logfile that HijackThis produces

The process isn't listed in the logfile.
I maybe should have told you that I check 'Show processes of all users' in the Task Manager, and that the process is running with the "users" 'NETWORK'.
 
This process is required by some program and we need to figure out what program needs it. But we can only tell by what processes are running at boot up. It also could be just windows update that has enabled this.

I think I'll just have to live with it then.
It's too much work and also maybe a little risk.
Thanks for your help anyway!
 
many start up programs not always list in msconfig, maybe some of them are launched by other start up or service program once windows boosted.
