How can I determine which applications and processes are turned on at first upward and how can I keep their autostart?

My office of gateway using Windows XP takes a long time to start.  I hear a lot of activity because it starts and after a very long time, I can really use it.  I would like to know what process or applications start automatically and then determine which ones to move away and how.

If you were to Google something like:

XP boot manager

You will get hits with links to managers of free starter like this simple:

http://www.MLIN.NET/StartupCPL.shtml

Another popular and free tool with a built-in startup manager (and other interesting things) are CCleaner which you can download here:
http://www.Piriform.com/CCleaner

CCleaner allows you to manage most of the startup items and also do some other operations oriented cleaning.  Some people will you recommend is not to use the registry functions in CCleaner to avoid these features for now.  I have no problem with it for me, but sometimes it's a contentious issue, I prefer to avoid as much as possible!

You can uninstall CCleaner later if you don't like it.

You can disable the startup items, see how things look and if you want - you just delete them (or leave it off).

After launch of CCleaner and see what startup items you can disable/remove, if you are still not sure of your startup items, follow these steps:

Run CCleaner and choose Tools, boot and bottom right, click on the button "Save to text file" to save the startup information in a text - something like startup.txt file

Save the boot information text file on your desktop (or somewhere you can find it) open the text file with an editor (Notepad or WordPad), select all (Ctrl-A), copy text, all the text selected in the Windows Clipboard (Ctrl-C) and then paste (Ctrl + V) the contents of the startup list to come back here in your next reply and maybe someone can tell you another thing to consider.

A more revealing startup Analyzer is Autoruns which will allow the manipulation of all sectors of boot and does not actually install anything:

I have zero startup items on my computer, so none of this is important to me!

  • How to determine which application has focus in Windows

    Hello all-

    I'm trying to work around the "Labview freezes when there is big data in the Clipboard, known issue" (http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Labview-freeze-when-accessing-a-custom-menu-with-data-on-the/m-p/200...) and a thought is to try to determine if Labview has the focus, and if it then clears the Clipboard.  If Labview has focus, and then let the user use the Clipboard.  It would be a good work around, because it would let users paste the screenshots and notes files and would not risk a nasty Clipboard / menu / gel-crash.

    My initial search for determining windows application focus, came so empty.  This old thread (from 2005) covers pretty well:

    http://forums.NI.com/T5/LabVIEW/is-there-a-simple-way-to-programatically-tell-which-VI-window/m-p/20...

    The "is more"property disobeys.»  I must determine if Labview has the focus, as opposed to Windows, Notepad, firefox, etc.  I also looked at command prompt commands and found nothing immediately useful here either.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you

  • Determine which application is downloaded from the Internet

    In the Task Manager Networking tab, I see continuous activity even if I'm not especially communicate via the web browsing or chat MSN. The speed of activity is slow (about 10-20 Kbps), but still.

  • Which applications and drivers get I need once I clean installed my Acer Aspire One 725 Windows 10?

    I already upgraded my Acer Aspire One 0725-10 Windows.  However, it seems to be an incompatibility with some of my courses installed applications and drivers that several questions.  Microsoft support reviewed my concerns and concluded that a clean install of windows 10 would be the way to go.  Before doing this, it would be probably good get applications and drivers that will be needed after the installation.  If anyone can provide me with a list, it would be greatly appreciated.

    Most of the drivers will be updated by windows update when connected to the web.

    on the applications, I think that Acer launch Manager is required to use the Fn keys:

    but... I read some discussions on the issues on windows 10 with Acer launch manager, worth a try to install.

    to check if all the drivers are installed and work properly, after verifying that all updates are installed:

    If the yellow exclamation point is present
    Double click on it

  • How can I keep Photos autostart

    whenever I insert a card containing the images, the photo program starts automatically. How can I stop that from happening?

    At launches of Photos with the import window opens, uncheck 'Open pictures for this device' below the toolbar. You must do this for each card you use - this flag is specific to the device.

    This will save the pictures to launch up to your reformat the card.

    If you always format your card to erase, the check mark does not help.

    A brute force method to stop any application to launch at all when you insert a memory card is this Terminal command:

    Hello.

    I am currently inking on an old comic I made.

    To save time and cut corners, I created a bunch of images pre drawn like faces, contours of the body, eyes, etc.

    These presets are all saved in a file with each different image on its own layer, and everything was fine.

    Then I you merge all layers (because it starts to get too many of them) and now when I copy an image

    and paste on my BD I get black lines (inks) but I also get the underlying layer blackened by white background.

    Y at - it a bet on, when I copy and paste, paste only the black lines and not the white background?

    Set the layer mode to darken.

  • How can I keep someone to access my data when they run a local SWF file system file

    I tried to look at cross area, but that seems to work only when a person runs from a network sandbox.

    If someone is running in a local with sandbox network, how can I keep their access to the data on my server. I want it accessible only by the swf file when it is run from my site?

    This might work.  I don't know a lot about technologies server side, but I thought that the HTTP request header has the applicant field so that your server cannot be denied, it is on this basis.  The local sandbox do crossdomain check but I think that your server which can detect in the header.

  • How do you use the config.xml file to determine which version of an application, a user will download?

    I have two APKs for the same application and I implemented the config.XML of lower version number working for all screen sizes.  The config.XML for the higher version number is set up for only the scresns large and extra-large.  Here's the code from the config.xml file.

    Version 1

    < media screens android: anyDensity = "true" android: Center = 'true '.
    Android: smallScreens = "true".
    Android: normalScreens = 'true '.
    Android: largeScreens = "true".
    Android: xlargeScreens = "true" / >

    Version 2

    < media screens android: anyDensity = "true" android: Center = 'true '.
    Android: smallScreens = "false".
    Android: normalScreens = "false".
    Android: largeScreens = "true".
    Android: xlargeScreens = "true" / >

    When I try to download the app on Google game, only the top version is available, regardless of the size of the unit.  When I asked Google game why this was not behave as expected, they said that the file manifest for both applications is the same.  Here is the code, they shot in the manifest after having used PhoneGap Build.

    < media screens android: anyDensity = "true" android: smallScreens = "true" android: normalScreens = "true" android: largeScreens = "true" android: Center = "true" android: xlargeScreens = "true" / >

    Can someone explain why PhoneGap Build is not using the settings I set in the config.xml file?  And how to fix this?

    The tag is not a valid tag in the config.xml file. This is probably why you see the same tag in two, as the build service is ignorant.

    As to how solve you this problem. Currently, you can not, but the next version of android-cordova will include the ability to add a tag which you will be able to use like this:
