How do I stop programs from coming up during startup,I only want a couple but a bunch startup.?

Question

It always takes a minute for my PC to come because of all the programs that start up that I don't need at time.

Answer 1

It's simple. Click "Start" then click on "Run". Type in "msconfig". This will open a Program window called System Configuration Utility. Click on the "Startup" tab at the top. Uncheck the programs that you do not want to automatically start when you turn on your computer. If you don't know for sure what it is, Dont uncheck it! Then restart your computer. You will get a message saying some programs did not start. Click "Do not show this again". It's that simple. Good luck!

Answer 2

On Vista click Start and type msconfig in the Search box and hit enter

On XP click Start and type msconfig in the Run box and hit enter



The Microsoft System Configuration window opens



Go to the STARTUP tab and take ticks out of stuff you don't want.

If any problems occur because you have unticked stuff you actually need then just repeat the process and put the ticks back in.

You can google any entries you are not sure about.
