How do I disable automatic startup programs?
After many years of using this computer I have lots of programs that automatically start running when I power up my computer. How do I disable the programs I don't want to run at start up? Thanks for your help.
a bunch of different ways, here are a few in easiest to hardest (less likely to screw up your computer to most)
start-->program files-->startup, remove the stuff from there that you don't want starting up
start-->run-->msconfig-->startup tab, uncheck the stuff you don't want starting up
start-->run--regedit-->hkey_local_machine-->software-->microsoft-->windows-->currentversion-->run, I usually change the drive letter of the entries to something non-exsistant, then I can easily revert back if it turns out they were something vital.
