  Hello

  I close all programs and then I closed my laptop but I see message programs are pending and that I still have programs that run, but actually I did not! I close all! and then after a few seconds it just stops himself well. In my view, there is a problem, why I see this message?

  This time, when I stopped my laptop a blue screen appeared saying windows is recovering from an unexpected shutdown. This was not unexpected at all, I closed all programs and all just stop it!

  From elsewhere when I press ctrl + alt + del and start the Task Manager I see not all programs that are running.

  It's a windows 7 64.

• How to stop programs that run automatically at startup?

  Hi I just wanted to know how to stop programs from running automatically at startup, I already ran msconfig and disabled programs that I don't want to run at startup and it always automatically start also on msconfig, it indicates the applications that I don't want to run at startup is disabled and it always runs at startup. The programs that I don't want to run at startup are tom tom home and bbc iplayer desktop, but he always runs at startup.

  One other thing is when I install new programs, that they automatically run at startup without my permission.

  Palcouk did preferred proposals. Another way to identify which loads when you start using Autoruns (freeware from Microsoft).
  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902

  With Autoruns, you can deselect an item which disables startup, or you can click with the right button on an item, then remove it. If you clear the check box that you can check back for re - activate the element. It is an approach much safer than editing the registry and better than using msconfig.

  A useful feature of the program is that you can click with the right button on an item and select search online to get information about the selected item.

  Hi camolentot,
  For a programme of work, it must be started. Programs are started in three ways.
  1. the first is if actually start you yourself by throwing it
  2. the second way is for other programs start another program.
  3. the third way is a program be configured to start automatically when the operating system starts. The type of programs that start through the third way are what we call the Windows startup programs
  The third type programs can be of the following types.
  * Some programs are needed for the operating system to operate correctly
  * Some programs, it is not necessary to run as it can be launched if necessary.
  You can change the programs such as messengers or software that you think that it is not necessary to run at the beginning. But it's not good tweaking all train backup software or security data. Its better to take help among people with knowledge about this program before tweaking start-up businesses.
  Tweaking unnecessary startups can speed up your PC. But tweaking bad programs\services can cause problems too.
