Auto Starting Programs
Today I found a great piece of advice regarding your computer. Does your computer take forever to start up? Mine does for several reasons. But the main reason is I have to many programs launching at start up. 90% of them I do not need on start up.
It turns out the default setting for most programs on installation set them to start on start up. So how can you fix this with out trying to go to all the programs you can think of and try to turn this feature off?
Here is the simple solution:
Click Start > Run and type “msconfig” at the prompt. Click the Startup tab and look at all that junk that loads when you launch your PC. Do you really need “Adobe Reader Speed Launch”? Probably not. Turn off anything else that looks useless, but be careful not to disable Windows system components.
Thank you Yahoo answers!! This is a great bit of advice.
As with anything computer related be careful you are not disabling something vital to the computer working. So if in doubt leave it alone. This tip now has my system staring up like it did when I first got it.
