Programs running in back ground

How do i keep files and or programs from running all the
time? I do a ctrl alt delete to get rid of them because
they use up so much memory,ive got 320 meg of ram.
When i delete everything and do what i need to do shut
down and turn the system back on i have to delete
everything all over again its really a pain in the ass.
Any help at all and i would be very greatful

Have a look at these sites for help with programs running at start up.

A good process viewer will tell you everything that is running, to include
background processes. Try Process Explorer, free from
www.sysinternals.com
.
CTRL-ALT-DEL will bring up the End Task window, however, it will not show
every running process. Most apps can be disabled from within the app
itself by using Properties or Settings or Options......the best way to
disable an app.
Here are some sites that will help you trim your startup axis......they
will
tell you what is needed and what is 'fluff.'

Start, Run,type in msconfig
open Start up

You only need your
anti virus
firewall
maybe a memory optomiser
spywareblaster

Keep it to 4-6 things cleanup the rest hit apply close
out reboot,
You will see a difference.

also
My computer,control panel,task bar and start panel,advanced
use the other advanced opens to programs open it reduce
the size then start pulling things out throw them in their
My Documents folder or delete them (they have a arrow on
them, they are copys )Just leave the important ones/the
uninstallers and helps can go, the read me's.
right click look at properties so have open in containing
folder so you can figure them out
