SQL Server Annoying popup upon boot

Sam
I have SQL Server Manager 8.00.2039 installed because I have one program
(app) installed that requires it be installed. For the first little
while when I had SQL server installed it would only show up in the
taskmanager tray, now MOST of the time, it shows up as a popup on my
desktop and also in my task tray when I first start XP (SP2). It stays
there until I close it. Is there a way to prevent the SQL from popping
up?

Thanks

If you don't want it to be running at all, just remove it from the Startup
folder.

If you want to have it the task tray without showing on the desktop, I
don't have that many ideas, as my Server Manager never behaves that way.

Thanks for the reply. Actually, I do want it running (on an as needed
basis). I use it to run a smart card reader and the data on the smart
card. I have 3 parts of the program in the startup folder:

MS SQL Manager
Service Manager
and an the Smart Card Reader Program with an unusual path: "C:\Program
Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools \Binn\scm.exe" -Action 1 -Silent
1 -Service ASUS\ENCOREPRO with target "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\80\Tools \binn"

I have reformatted my hard drive several times and sooner or later this
issue resurfaces.

This sounds like one too many to me. What paths do they have? And do they
have any command-line options?

On my machine, the commandline for Service Manager is:

"E:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools \Binn\sqlmangr. exe" /n

I tested to run this from a command-line window. Without /n the application
would appear as a window. With /n it only showed in the tray, which is
the way I normally want it.
and an the Smart Card Reader Program with an unusual path: "C:\Program
Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools \Binn\scm.exe" -Action 1 -Silent
1 -Service ASUS\ENCOREPRO with target "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\80\Tools \binn"
The scm application is "Service Control Manager", an application I did
not have any knowledge prior to reading your post. The purpose appears to
be to autostart the ASUS\ENCOREPRO service. A more normal way to do this
would be to configure the service as Automatic in Services under Computer
Management.
I have reformatted my hard drive several times and sooner or later this
issue resurfaces.
I hope you have had other reasons for reformatting than just getting
rid of the pop-up!

I want to popup a window from my codebehind. The reason is that during the postback the code needs to do some validations and to build the arguments that are passed in the url. How can I achieve this functionality? The reason I do not want to use Response.Redirect is because when the user comes back to the first page, all the selections that were made(which are the arguments) disappear.
