Click on START, then RUN and type the letters MSCONFIG, then click OK.
On
the new screen, click on the STARTUP tab, and take note of each
program.
Once done connect to the web and go to the following website;
http://www.pacs-portal.co.uk/startup_content.php
Right under INTRODUCTION, click on PROGRAMS, and on the new screen,
click on ALL ITEMS. Click on "If you are a regular visitor, click HERE
to go straight to the list". In the Search box, type in any program
you are interested in. They are all explained and there is a
recommendation as to whether the program is required or not.
Once you have determined which programs to keep in the Startup, try
and
disable those you are not keeping via Preferences or Options in the
actual
programs, otherwise return to START/RUN/MSCONFIG and click on the
Startup
tab. Remove the checkmark in whatever program you no longer require in
STARTUP. Alternativley, you may want to consider downloading a neat
little free utility that will manage this for you. You can get
Startup Control Panel 2.8 by Mike Lin at; www.mlin.net .
Hope this helps
