how can I disable some unwanted programs when my computer starts up??

the trouble with "msconfig " is that you have to know exactly what it is that you are disabling because the abbreviations are very vague to say the least. - It is better to download Windows defender which tells you not only the programmes on your PC but also precisely what each programme is, the developer etc. and what it does.  It tells you the programmes which load at start-up and the programmes which are currently running.  It is free, from windows,and also has a kick-ass spy ware detector. I hope this is what you are after and of course, I hope it helps.

most programs have a right clickable icon in system tray that gives option to turn off its starting up as a startup program. You can also remove the program from windows services.  ->control panel->administrative->services.  Disable them there and they don't take up valuable pc boot time.

You can go to Start->Run and type in msconfig and then go to startup and uncheck the stuff that you don't want to start up when you turn on your computer. Be careful what you uncheck.

Go into msconfig and turn off programs that you don't need to start when Windows does.\n\nAlso scan for viruses and spyware.\n\nClean out temporary files, use disk cleanup and defrag

Go to Start menu and click on Run - type: msconfig - and press enter. Go to Start-up tab and disable the things you don't want to run at start up.  But be careful not to disable the important things needed to start you PC.

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.

maybe you have other programs that run behind it when you start the computer. Some programs are automatically on when you start the computer and some of them you don't need it to be turn on at the start-up.\n\nTo find out what's on, go to search, type msconfig. On the startup tap you could unchecked the programs that you don't need to be turn on when you start the computer.\n\nYou could also do disk cleanup or defragment to cleanup your computer. Go to start> accessories> system tools

By going through this problem one can suspect the same which u said. \n\nThere are few checks u can make\n1. Go to add/remove programmes in control panel and check if any unlnown programme installed there. IF u find one remove it.\n\n2. U can block the programme appearing at start-up. For That go to <start>/<run> and write "msconfig" u will see a small window then select the "startup" tab and see the list of programmes which get activated once u boot the pc. try to find any entry which u dont want to run and uncheck it. Apply the settings\n\nI hope this will do.

I use a program called winpatrol. It lets youknow what programs boot at start up and will give you some pretty good info about them. It also will delete cookies as you get them and shows EVERY program that is currently running. pretty handy tool and free to boot.
