when i start my computer 1001 programs open up i know u delete them froma startp menu but cant rememebr how u get on it?any help

 

Start>Settings>Taskbar and Start Menu

 

And if this fails, go to Start/Run and type in 'msconfig'

The very right most tab shows you what loads up each time you start your computer. OFten useful little tool for removing bits and pieces!

Dowload CCleaner,then use the option in tools for startup.

Do a prntscreeen before you delete anything tho.

 

Google a program called 'autoruns' and download. It works a treat.

 

Msconfig in the run box, go to selective start up and uncheck

 

if you are disabling services you should always use 'services.msc' and never disable them through msconfig

 

Under start>run>MSconfig theres also a services tab. click that then click 'hide all microsoft services'

This will show up any services (not quite the same as programs) that might be running. If there is crap in there for your printer, or mobile phone, or an old virus scanner you dont use anymore, turn them off BUT only if you DONT use them anymore.

If you turn them off and it turns out you still use them you can always turn them back on.
