Disabling Automatic Startup Programs

Disabling Automatic Startup Programs
If you don't want certain programs or applications to run automatically on startup, there's an easy way to disable them.

* Click Start
* Type msconfig in the search box
* Click Continue in the User Account Control to continue
* Click on the Startup Tab
* Uncheck any boxes in the "Startup Items" that you wish to disable or click the Disable All button (not recommended)
* Click OK

If you need to re-enable any of the programs, go through the same process and check the boxes of programs you wish to run automatically on startup.
