1. Usual way

To delete stuff is right click and select 'Delete'. Is this in your Start menu, or your start-up folder? Or somewhere else?

2. Thanks, as usual. Don't know enough to answer. It pops when power up.

I don't click anything to ask for it. I think I've tried right click.

3. That sounds like it's a start-up item

Plenty has been written about how to stop this, so I won't retype it. Here's a couple of links. Dp a search for drop box popup on startup you'll find a heap of help to disable it.

5. Fantastic, thanks! - used the Task Manager method

The first/regular option was to "Open" Dropbox, which involves being signed into an account to begin with. I have not signed up for an account.

So the Alternate method, by Task Manager (Cntrl + Alt + Del), was simple and fast:

"An Alternative Method for Windows PCs
On Windows, it is also possible to prevent Dropbox from opening at startup using Task Manager. To open Task Manager, right-click on the taskbar and select "Task Manager." In Task Manager, click the "Startup" tab. Select "Dropbox" from the list of applications, then click the "Disable" button."

6. Well done

Personally, I hate stuff running on my computer without my permission. Eats up processor cycles.
