You can disable some of the programs that start up when your computer boots up.  Most programs with the exception of your antivirus and firewall are not needed to run at startup.\n\ngoto start run type msconfig in run prompt click startup tab and uncheck everything that doesn't point to your antivirus or firewall.  If something that you want doesn't work just go back in and recheck it.

Run virus scanners then check your startup applications.  You might have too many applications starting up when you boot your computer.\n\nI also recommend a reformat atleast once a year or every other year.

Click Start, Run, type in msconfig\nGo to the Startup tab and uncheck the programs you don't want to load automatically.\nClick Apply and OK, you don't need to reboot, they'll be gone next time you start your computer.

Try this little program. I have been using it for years and you can temporarily disable, enable, or even delete a startup entry. Very easy to install and simple to use. Just be careful what you are doing and always make sure that your system files are backed up first ... an ounce of prevention.\n\nStartup Manager 1.5.2.25 by Brad Stowers\nhttp://www.f2.org/archive/software/startupmgr.html\n\nHere is a good description of its functions:\nhttp://www.cublea.net/software/effess/startman.html\n\n\nHope this helps to solve your problem.

Hi, First,check in the folder Startups :Start > All programs > Startups.If you don't find it there,try a small utility called "Startup Control Panel or \nStartup CPL from Mike Lin  http://www.mlin.net/StartupCPL.shtml\nThere are 2 versions:One is stand-alone,the other puts a shortcut in XP Control panel.\nCheck each section for the Common Files startup and un-check the box.\nThere are numerous startup control programs on the web.just in case you don't like this one.\nJust do a Yahoo or Google search for startup control.

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.

The best place to start is msconfig, a Windows utility that helps you control your startup programs.\n\nClick Start>Run and type (without quotes) "msconfig" and hit enter/click ok.\n\nClick the Startup tab and you'll see everything that's set to start with your computer.  Uncheck anything you don't need.\n\nIf you're not sure, just try unchecking it and you'll know if something is missing.  It's really easy to run msconfig again and re-enable it.  You won't damage your system by unchecking stuff this way.\n\nEDIT:\nh4x0r_247 is a moron.  A running program can also mean a service or process, one that run completely independent of the user.  Try to argue that a Windows system is not a program by definition and see how far you get.

You might try looking for them in the startup folder\ndo a search for startup and when you find it see if they are listed and then delete the programs you do not watn to automatically load.  At least it worked for me.

First of all, don't let them start at start-up...\n\nHow 2:\n\n1) START -> RUN -> TYPE "msconfig" (without quotes)\n2) Uncheck all the processes that you don't need. The only two proceses there should be like a Firewall and a virus protection utility...\n\n3) START -> ALL PROGRAMS -> STARTUP\n4) Then delete all the programs on there. You don't even need Adobe Acrobat Reader in there...\n\nEnd How 2\n\nNow, extermination!\n\nHow 2:\n\n1) Press (Holding)  Left CTRL --- Left ALT --- DELETE\n2) Go through them all... And go to google, then precisely type in the names of the process that you think you don't need... include the ".exe"\n\nWARNING: DON'T DELETE PROCESSES LIKE WINLOGON, SVCHOST, SYSTEM, SYSTEM IDLE PROCESSES, EXPLORER.\nEnd How 2...\n\nThat should be it... Well, if you still see too many processes, why don't you go through the software list and uninstall them all, unless you REALLY NEED IT, like firefox...\n\nWell, if you still can't get rid of stuff, Reinstall the OS...\nit only takes 2 hours... And from then, ONLY INSTALL THE APPS YOU NEED!!! That'll take care of itself!\n\nKeehun Nam\nknvb1123@gmail.com

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.

I would reduce the number of useless programs that run at startup.  Go to START and click on RUN, then type MSCONFIG.   Go to the Startup section and UNCHECK some of the programs that you don't need. \n\nAlso, you might have SpyWare. You should have an anti-spyware solution on your computer. I recommend that you go to http://www.download.com and get AD-AWARE and SpyBot Search & Destory. Install, run, update and scan your computer with both programs.\n\nGood luck and Happy Computing!
