Hit the run button and type in MSCONFIG. You will see a tab called startup. Unclick all you don't want. Reboot and a message will appear...just ask it to not come up again.

Click on START, choose RUN, type in MSCONFIG A box that says System Configuration will pop up, choose the last tab START UP Uncheck the programs you don't want to run, if in doubt, don't uncheck the block. Restart the computer.
Or you can download this free program called Advanced Window Care, tunes up the computer, makes it faster as well. Choose TOOLS, and you will see START UP MANAGER. It's easier to figure you what the programs are.

Click the start button...then click Run...
then enter msconfig in the box and click ok
then a system utility window will pop up...
go to the startup tab....thr u will get all the programs which start ...when pc is started.......
uncheck the boxes against the program names which you dont want to start...or which you dont want to appear on your right side of the task bar...

This is a trade secret but I will share it with you.
Click on start - run
type in msconfig
Once that window popsup click on the startup tab. Uncheck all of the startup items. Works great if you are trying to remove viruses from starting up when the PC starts up.

Go to Start | Run and type msconfig. Click OK. Go to its Startup tab. You can uncheck the programs you don't want to run on startup. You can normally deduce which icon a program corresponds to by its path.

U could do that if u go to the Control panel from the start menu.

sometimes you can't, but sometimes you can open it up and change the preferences so that it doesn't open on start up
