Have a look at these sites to assist with programs that load with Windows
and then below for Scandisk and Defrag help. Joan 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.' http://www.pacs-portal.co.uk/startup_content.php http://www.sysinfo.org/startuplist.php http://www.3feetunder.com/krick/startup/list.html http://ww2.whidbey.net/djdenham/Uncheck.htm http://www.answersthatwork.com/Taskl...s/tasklist.htm http://www.greatis.com/regrun3appdatabase.htm Jesse Hand wrote: How can I control which programs load at start up?

If there are programs there which don't need to be, see if you can change their "Load at Windows Startup" Option/Preference. Start/Programs/Startup Folder is another place (though rarely used these days). *Then* start looking at msconfig.exe as posted by others. If you see something in there that looks unnecessary, first try to change the "Load at..." etc. in the main program first (it rarely makes a difference, but just in case...). For the stuff you don't recognize, check it against the sites proferred. Rick |
