I would like to eliminate some things from automatically starting up when I turn my computer on.?

Question

For instance "Kodak Easy Share" and a few other things like photo shop.....would anyone happen to know the process to doing this? I tried looking in the "help" section and there was nothing. I use Windows XP.
Aloha!

What are the "only " things necessary at start up?

Answer 1

Click on Start
Click Run
Type in MSCONFIG
Click OK
Click the tab that reads START UP
In this screen you can remove every checkmark and it will eliminate every program that starts on startup. If Windows needs the program on the next startup, it will put the check mark back.
Click APPLY
Click OK
The system will asked to be restarted
when the computer restarts, a window will pop up, put a checkmark in the box and click OK.

That's it!

I would suggest you download the program "Autoruns" from SysInternals. This will allow you to see all of the applications that start when your computer turns on.

If you have any questions about what is starting (you will probably see some oddly named things) just type it into Google and you will generally be able to find out what it is.

Answer 5

i right click on the icon on the right side of the task bar. generally, they have an option regarding starting on startup. if they don't, they have an option for options, and then turn off "starting at start up." if not, then i open the program (1-2 left clicks) and find the option there.

Answer 6

I would start by opening each app and looking through its options and or tools, you can also dump all the crap in your startup folder, lastly, type msconfig in your run box but make sure you know what you are disabling.

Answer 7
