How to keep programs from starting up whenever I start Windows

Whenever I start Windows, lots of programs also start up.
I know there is a list somewhere that I can delete these
programs from but I don't know where it is. Does anybody
know where in Windows I can find it? I would appreciate
any help.

No problem Morrie:
Hit Start, click on Run and type 'msconfig' into the space provided, then
hit Enter. Click on Startup and you will find what you are looking for.

Harry, old and knows something.

Almost forgot, Morrie:
Be careful with the delete, before you do, rather just uncheck and see how
things are going first.

Harry, old and does forget.

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.'

Thank you, Joan.
I have downloaded this program and will install next.
Seems like a very useful tool.

Harry, old and sometimes useful too.

Now that I installed it, Joan, I recognized the program instantly. I had
forgotten about it since I lost it in my last format. Thanks for giving it
back to me.
