Hi. there.\n\nStart>>Run type msconfig press enter\n\nOn Startup tab uncheck those entries which have something like sonic or in sonic directory.\n\nYou can also check for any services which may be running in background on services tab.\n\nTo disable a particular service START>>RUN type services.msc then press enter. \n\nBrowse and right click on the service you want to stop then go to properties then choose mannual from drop down list and then click the stop button below that drop down list. \n\nHope this helps.\n\nCheers\n\n:)

Start > Run > MSCONFIG\n\nClick the "Startup" tab.  Be very cautious when deselecting programs; you do not want to stop something from running that you need for the system to run.

If Windows XP suddenly starts without warning, or restarts when you try to shut it down, it may be because your operating system is set to automatically restart when certain system errors occur. This feature of the Windows XP operating system can be disabled. Use the information below to disable the Automatically Restart option. \n\nResolve this issue by turning of the Automatically Restart option: \n\n1. Click Start, right-click My Computer and click Properties. \n2. Click the Advanced tab and select Settings in the Startup & Recovery section. \n3. Remove the check mark next to Automatically Restart under System Failure. \n4. Click OK to close the Startup and Recovery window and click OK to close the System Properties window. \n5. Restart the PC.\n\nThe PC will no longer restart automatically when a problem occurs. Instead a blue screen appears with more useful information. You can now search for a resolution using the text from the error.\n\nAfter you perform the above steps, check if the issue persists in "safe mode with Networking", scan for virus, get the BIOS update from the manufacturer.

Go to Start/Run and enter msconfig. There will be a startup tab that lets you uncheck the stuff you don't want. You can uncheck everything and XP will still run, and go back and recheck things if something stops working right.\nThere's also the Start/All Programs/startup thing you can delete stuff from.

You can stop any application from starting up by going to the Start button, clicking on Run then type in 'msconfig'.  On the far right hand tab (start) is the capability to stop applications starting.  This can speed up logging on no end!
