  • 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

I want to stop at the start of all programs that are not essential to the functioning of my computer. On my last computer someone gave me a list or a link to a list of programs that allowed me to learn more about the various programs, which were important. Thank you, rmh

    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.

  • The duplicate files. Same file appears in different directories - how to identify the programs that use these files?

    Hello

    Question 1 - I have a list of duplicate on my computer files. Very often, the same file appears in two or more different locations. So I guess this could mean different copies of the same file is used by various programs. It would then be important to know what program is using this file prior to the removal of duplicates.

    Question 2 - it would be possible to point all programs that use a file given in one place? That is to centralize the location of a file. What I think, could eliminate the need to have different copies at different locations. If so, how is it please?

    Thank you for your help.

    The duplication that you see is the result of a bad installation program written by eSupport. It has nothing to do with Microsoft. I could do this:

    1. Rename the folder c:\eSupport in eSupport.junk
    2. Wait a week or two.
    3. If all goes well, remove the renamed folder.

    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.

    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:

    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.

    Original title: Windows Explorer

    It is a good number with a boot drive (C:\ drive) that is cruelly of free space.

    A healthy walk NEEDS 20% free space at least to work properly and prevent your suspension system.

    Several causes are possible, but check your free space. Upgrade your hard drive if necessary.

    More RAM might help too.

    You can remove the program from the taskbar and check if that helps. To remove a program pinned to the taskbar, open the jump list for the program, and then click remove this program from the taskbar.
