How to disable Web Camera pop out menu on my Satellite?
Posted: 12-Feb-2012 22:20

I have a Satellite laptop which has an annoying pop out menu on the left side of the screen. The one with four icons marked, Photo/Video, Settings, Effect, and Face Recognition.

Is there any way to disable it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

When the pop-up is shown click on it with right mouse button and disable auto run.
Next time when notebook starts this application will not start.

If you want to have it all the time shown on the screen, disable option “Auto hide”.

Hi

In most cases the camera software starts automatically while booting up the windows OS. To prevent this you can disable the webcam software in Startup of msconfig.
Type msconfig in search and choose Startup tab.
Here you have to remove the check from webcam software entry.
Save this, reboot and now webcam software should not start automatically.

But xaver’s advice should work too.
