Two MailWasher Free programs open when I restart

Sun Mar 12, 2017 4:45 am

Whenever I restart my PC I have two instances of MailWasher Free open. I have searched under Firetrust and Mailwasher, but don't see an obvious duplicate or old folder. I reinstalled and the same thing. My "remove Programs" doesn't find an extra one. I'm sure it can't be too complicated, but I haven't figured it out so far.

MailWasher ships in 2 different editions — the V6 and the V7.

These 2 editions are so different that they can be installed and more importantly run simultaneously . . . . . . to coexist peacefully — now, are you sure that you are seeing 2 open windows of the V7 (since that is not possible?) :scratch

Would like to see a screenshot of both instances of MailWasher (V7) open.

First in MWP go to Settings and make sure that the Start wihen Windows Starts is unchecked.
Also go to your Windows Start Up folder and see it there are two entries there.

One icon shows "C:\Program Files (x86)\Firetrust\MailWasher\MailWasher.exe" -nosplash
when I click Properties. The other does not have "-nosplash" at the end

BelArc Advisor shows only - Firetrust - MailWasher Version 2017.7.9.0

In Startup it had a shortcut for MailWasher. That may be the extra one, as the Firetrust folder is already in the Start Menu/Programs folder. I deleted the shortcut one and will see if that does it.

That appeared to solve the extra shortcut...not two programs running at once (I assume). I restarted and only one shows up now.
