How to stop NC's 'Purple' launcher from automatically starting

The cheeky bastards at NCSoft have hidden (well, kinda) the 'autolaunching' of their launcer by creating a task in the task scheduler...

Duh. That was the only place I didn't look.


Using the client

1. Start and log in to Purple, then

2. Disable autostart in the Purple client


Using Windows

1. Start up the Task Scheduler (Library)

2. Look for an entry called 'Purple' or 'Purple Launcher'

3. Disable or delete it

4. Reboot.


Aion 2

Aion 2 is using the Purple launcher. Aion 2 is still an okay game, though I can't figure out why they thought it would be necessary to use some AI art... But hey, it's free, so I'll give it a bit of attention before returning to Guildwars 1, 2, and (someday) 3...
