First of all, note that you should be concerned all the programs
starts automatically, not only those who enter in the system tray.
Not all the programs auto-start manifesting by an icon in the
Status bar.

On each program, you don't want to automatically start, check its
Options to see if he has the choice of not start (make sure you)
Indeed choose not to run, not just a "don't show icon.
Optional). Many can easily and better be arrested like that. If that is not
work, run MSCONFIG from the start. Run the line, and then click the Startup tab.
Uncheck the programs that you do not want to automatically start.

However, if I were you, I wouldn't do it just for the application of
the minimum number of running programs. Despite what many people say
You should be concerned, not with the way that a lot of these programs
you run, but who. Some of them can degrade performance severely, but
others have no effect on performance.

Don't stop all programs to run willy-nilly. What you need to do
is to determine what each program is, what its value is up to you which
the performance cost is its running all the time. You can try
Internet search and ask questions about the details here.

Once you have this information, you can make a smart informed
decision on what you want to keep and what you want to get rid of.

  • Change 'Start Up' of the elements in the System Configuration utility

    I tried to remove some the startup items in order to speed up my computer. When I run msconfig and I select "Start" and then check the items to delete, after I selected "Apply" I get a message that basically said... "Access error was returned. You may need to log on as an Adminitrator s changes. As far as I know, I am an administrator as ever, I added all the extra accounts and I always connect under the default account titled original HP administrator.

    In addition, what are the elements are indeed necessary on this menu? Some of them I know but there is a number, I have no idea.

    MSConfig has been designed to be a troubleshooting tool, not a "Start Configurator".  Use MSConfig to determine the location of the command who tries to start the program, and then remove it.  To stop the selective startup notifications, either return your settings to the way they were, or permanently remove unwanted programs from your startup configuration.

    In most cases, with 'good manners' applications, it is usually as simple as opening the unwanted program and deselect the "Show icon in the system tray" option or "launch at Windows startup.

    In addition, look in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Menu Menu\Programs\Start Up and C:\Documents and Settings\nom_utilisateur\Menu Menu\Programs\Start files and in the system registry, mainly in the HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run and HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run key.
