Follow These Steps:\n\n1. Go to Start\n2. Run\n3. Type in "msconfig" (this is the system configuration)\n4. Go on the startup tab\n5. Check the box of the program you do not wish to start up.\n6. There will be a promt to restart. If not, restart anyways.\n7. A message will appear when the restart is complete. Check the box which says "do not show at startup"\n\nTHE END

Some solutions to this may be:\n1) Start > Administrative Tools > Services > set some of the non-essential services to > Manual.\nIf the "System Administrative Tools" is not shown in All Programs or the Start menu, you can find it in the Control panel.\n\n2) Start > Run > type "msconfig" in the box > OK > click on the Startup tab > uncheck any programs that are not essential.\n\n3) You may have to many programs installed > Unistall the programs that are not used.

Even if you click exit on them, they will return because most of them are automatically starting up. If you need the program running, most will have a "hide taskbar icon" somewhere in the preferences. Also, look for something like "automatically  startup with windows".\n\nYou can download a free utility called Winpatrol at http://www.winpatrol.com where you can disable various startups from hidden places on your computer.

A few can be removed directly from the start-up folder (can find the shortcut to the folder in your Start > "All Programs" list.\n\nFor most though, do the following:\nHit Winkey +R to open the Run console and enter "msconfig"\n\nOn the start-up tab, un-check those applications /processes you don't want to start-up on booting your system. Just be sure to check out any processes you are unfamiliar with first, as you don't want to disable anything important.

Go to Start Menu, click RUN. \nType msconfig and hit enter. \nYou should see a pop up box.\nGo to Startup tab and uncheck all the programs that you do not want on your start up. \nThis will prevent those programs from starting up when you restart windows. \nThis will usually make your computer go a little faster if you have do not have much memory on your computer.\nYou do not want a bunch of things running in your background during startup if it is not necessary.

Go to your Start menu, click on "Run" When The Run window pops up, in the Open: Section, simply type "msconfig" without the quotations. This will take you to the System Configuration Utility.\n\nClick on the Startup tab and uncheck the unnecessary processes.\n\nHope this helps.

Maybe you have a lot of programs in your startup folder. Check \nC:&#92;Documents and Settings&#92;All Users&#92;Start Menu&#92;Programs&#92;Startup \nand \nC:&#92;Documents and Settings&#92;yourname&#92;Start Menu&#92;Programs&#92;Startup\n\nAnother good place to check is the Services in Control Panel to make sure there are not a lot of unnecessary services starting automatically. If you are not comfortable with stopping services, see if a computer savvy friend will help you.

most likely check the options for the application and uncheck the box "show at startup" or check your startup folder in Start>all programs>startup and check for anyhtign there that you dont want

Start->Run->type MSconfig\n\nThen go to the startup tab. \nIt should be under there as whatever the process name is. Just uncheck it. Hit apply then when you computer restarts a window pops up telling you that things have been changed. This will pop up everytime so hit that do not show again message. Everything is still ok.\n\nOr go under start menu->all programs->start up\nAnd delete the short cut out of there if there is one. If not do the other thing i said.

Go to start-Run and type "msconfig".  Go to the "startup" tab.\n\nYou can uncheck the program from the list there.  That will stop it from running automatically at boot.

Go into your Startup folder in the start menu; check which content is in this folder for stuff you don't want to run at startup. Everything in that folder will run at startup. Secondly, run MSCONFIG by going to the start menu, selecting "RUN" and typing "MSCONFIG". Click the tap at the top entitled "Startup" and then uncheck whichever programs you do not want to run at startup. By removing extra programs you will save alot of processing power so your computer can boot more quickly.
