First of all, note that you should be in * all * programs that
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, you should be concerned, not with the way * a lot * of these programs
you run, but * that *. 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.

  • How can I turn off the screen on W4 - 820 without putting it to sleep?

    Whenever I press the power button, the Tablet goes to sleep. I know what is happening because, in the power options > power settings button > sleep is selected to "on battery" and "on".

    Also I went into the settings advanced under power options and tried to change the settings "turn off the display of", but whatever number I put here, the same is my settings "sleep after".

    I don't know how to solve this problem. Can someone please? Thanks in advance!


  • programs that open automatically

    How can I keep some programs (such as Sticky Notes) opens automatically when I reboot?

    These programs are set to start in two different locations, but you can access startup sequences bit near a place.

    Click the Start button, and then type MSCONFIG. Click the Startup tab. Now, you can examine what programs or applets are defined to start when you start Windows 7. While you can't resize this dialog box, you can expand the lindividual columns for readability. Uncheck just any item you want to disable. Restart will start the computer without the uncontrolled elements. If you find that you have disabled something that you actually need, return to this dialog box and review the program back on.

    Hi Snyder22,

    I understand how frustrating it can be to see ongoing ads on your computer. I have an article for you with information about the stop of this behavior:

    Stop the cAds in Safari - Apple Support

    https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT203987

    The behavior you describe can be better attributed to adware, referred to in this section of the article mentioned above:

    If you could have the adware installed on your Mac.

    If the pop-ups still on your Mac, you might inadvertently downloaded and installed adware (advertising-taking software supported). Some software that you download from some third-party download sites can include the software you want and the adware.

    If you think you have Adware on your Mac, update to the latest version of OS X El Capitan. If your Mac already has the latest version of El Capitan, restart it. El Capitan removes adware only when connecting. If you still see the advertising on your Mac, Contact Apple.

    Be vigilant and thank you for visiting the communities of Apple Support.

    How can I turn off text to speech that I turned it on to listen to the voice and now there seems to be no way to turn it off

    Hello

    Follow the steps below to disable text to speech in Windows Vista.

    (a) go to the section on your main screen where you see the time displayed.

    (b) it is called the "bar", all kinds of small icons are visible here, there's even a gadget of the small arrow that would normally point to the right if you have a lot of programmes to help you use windows.

    (c) "left click on"the small arrow in a circle - this will expand the list to display small icons, drip slowly mouse over the bar of 'system' in order to launch a pop - up of each icon, once you reach the icon that says something like "text to speech tool","make a clique right".

    (d) a pop-up list appears showing what options are available - option whatever go to "Properties" or "settings", "click on" this element gives.

    (e) a new Panel will appear - in select here the article that says something like "launch on startup", it should have a box next to it, that will be ticked or marked in some way - "click" this element so that it seems to be clear and followed by the button "apply" "click" the button "OK" - which should solve your problem.
