How to change the programs that load when Windows starts

In simple terms... How to change the programs that load when Windows starts?  Because my boot time is slow in arriving at my login screen!

Download and run the "Autoruns" from Microsoft Sysinternals freeware:

< http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902="">

It lists all programs that start at startup and allows you to disable it by simply removing a check mark.  This makes it easy to reverse in case something goes wrong.

  • Where can I get a list and a description of the programs that load when I turn on my computer?

    I recently bought a Pavilion p7-1010 PC with operating system Windows 7. On my previous HP, I got a list of programs that started when I turned on my computer and those to whom I could remove to start which were really not essential to have running.

    Is there a place I can find a similar list for this computer and possibly a recommendation for those who I can disable.

    Thank you

    Hello rmh56, what would be a little difficult to determine, given that every computer comes with different programs.

    I have no way of knowing how to determine which programs can be prevented from leaving on a particular computer.

    You can try unchecking each of those entries one at a time and restart the system, or log and see if the programs perform normally, but this could be a very long process.

    Unless you are certain that a program is not necessary, I would leave checked.

    I just checked my startup programs and I shows that I have 15 startup programs.

    This doesn't seem to affect my system performance at all. I check all out them.

Please tell me how can I install the programs in other folders such as "Local disk D and E and F.

    Win needs 15% free space for proper operation.

    Using various hacks registry posted on various sites to redirect the default program installation folder to another drive is not supported by MS and can cause problems.

    Most of the programs when you install them have the option for a custom install, where you can specify where / which drive to install, but not all programs have this option. Even if you install a separate drive various files/folders will be written on victory drive.

    If the drives D, E & F are separate partitions of a disk, you will need to modify/extend partition in win

    How can I get rid of the box that appears when you start Firefox 'Restore previous Session'?

    Subject: House is the default in Firefox 4 home page - look at the address bar containing the addresses of web page - it is the container for Google search, with a 'extract container' and below these elements is the Previous Session Restore button. It's not the same homepage that previous versions of Firefox used (although it is similar in appearance), it is a 'local' page that won't load the Internet.

    Set this page as your home page, which is what Firefox 3.6 and earlier versions had for the default home page. He has Previous Session Restore button/link.

    How to stop a program to open when I start my computer?

    I would check the following:

    1. The program has an option to stop from?
    2. Otherwise use Windows Defender to disable: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Stop-a-program-from-running-automatically-when-Windows-starts . If you cannot use Windows Defender because your antivirus turns off, you have to use the Configuration utility system; See: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Start-System-Configuration and http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Using-System-Configuration
    3. Some products start themselves in other ways. Http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902 Autoruns lists most of these places. This tool is designed for advanced users.

  • How can I change the programs that my computer runs at startup... as when I first cut it on all programs that just automaticlly opens

    When I cut on my computer it starts a program called frost wire and it freezes I want to remove where it starts automaticlly and just start up when I open

    Hello

    FrostWire is a BitTorrent software or any bit torrent software can be dangerous to use that you can end up with a Malware infected computer.

    As your computer freezes because of this, I would like to download Malwarebytes anti-malware update and scan of Malware:

    http://www.Malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free

    You can manage through Windows Defender startup programs.

    But if you use McAfee, Norton, AVG and MSE, etc as an Anti Virus they disable Defender, which is the best thing for them to do.

    There are a couple of other ways to manage startup programs:

    How to use MSCONFIG in Windows Vista

    Here's how to use MSCONFIG in Windows Vista to disable some unnecessary programs that load automatically at startup. Disabling these programs will help your computer boot faster and crash less.

    http://netsquirrel.com/Msconfig/msconfig_vista.html

    Alternatively, you can use this free Autoruns program:

    This utility, which has a knowledge of auto-starting locations of any startup monitor, shows you what programs configured to run at system startup or login and that the entries in the order of processing windows. These programs include those in your startup folder, Run, RunOnce, and other registry keys. You can configure Autoruns to show other locations, including Explorer shell, toolbar extensions, helper objects to the browser, Winlogon notifications, auto and many start-up services even more. Autoruns goes way beyond the MSConfig utility bundled with Windows Me and XP.

    Autoruns' hide signed Microsoft entries allows you to zoom in on images of automatic start of third parties who have been added to your system and it has support for looking at images of Autostart configured for other accounts configured on a system. A command-line equivalent that can display in format CSV, Autorunsc is also included in the download package.

  • How can I change the programs that start automatically when I turn on my computer?

    I have several programs that slow down my departure upward.  I didn't not use programs and would that they won't start does not automatically.

    I have several programs that slow down my departure upward.  I didn't not use programs and would that they won't start does not automatically.

    First of all, note that you should be in * all * the programs that start automatically, not only with those who are 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 she has the choice to not start (make sure that you actually choose to not run, not simply a "don't display the icon" option). Many can easily and better be arrested like that. If this does not work, run MSCONFIG from the start. Run the line and on the Startup tab, uncheck the programs that you do not want to automatically start.

    However, if I were you, I wouldn't do this just for the purpose of the minimum number of running programs. Despite what a lot of people tell you, you should be concerned, not with the way * a lot * of these programs you run, but * that *. Some of them can seriously affect the performance, 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 that its value is for you and what the performance cost is running all the time. You can try searching the Internet 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.
