Whats loading at start up

Hi,
I would like to know what programs are loading when I start my PC.
Thanks,
Lewis

 

Start > Run > type: msconfig > Startup tab

First right click on the icons in the system tray next to your clock(or double left click to open)and try to access the "settings ",
"preferences" or "options" of each of the applications that you don't want to start when the computer boots up.
There should be an option labeled "Start upon Windows Startup ". Make sure that option is unchecked.
If there is no option, you could download and install
CodeStuff Starter to manage your startup programs
(if you get the .zip file from the authors site it requires no installation)
http://codestuff.tripod.com/products_starter.html
Launch the program and uncheck any program that you don't want to load/run at startup.
If you later change your mind, replace the checkmark.
It's very easy to search within the program too!
Right click on an entry > Search Internet > search engines & some sites below.

Identify and disable start-up programs from running.
