how do you know what do remove from your startup menu?

Question

Please be specific, I know I have too much stuff loading on booting up

Answer 1

Hey. First-off, just incase you don't know how. Click start; Click run; Type 'msconfig' and press enter; Click on the 'Startup' tab at the top.

Now. That list you see there is things in your startup menu. The things that are selected with a tick, is loaded. No tick, and it's not loaded. Nothing HAS to be loaded on that list, so you can go right ahead and disable all of them. Note, though, that if you do this, all your antivirus and anti-spyware and firewall (all your security utilities) will be disabled too. So, rather disable everything on there, except your security software. For example: you can take off winampa and NeroCheck but leave on avgcc and avgemc.

Hope it helps!

Answer 2

You can simply delete it right off the list. Go to START -> ALL PROGRAMS -> Startup then right-click and select delete to remove items.

Answer 3

it's different for different people depending on what hardware and software is in the computer in question.

you'd be better off 'googling' each *.exe filename to see what it actually is and then you can judge whether it's necessary for each item to load on startup.

Answer 4

Greetings!

There is no reason to load anything at start up. If so, it would be in the cmd file.
So delete everything out of there.

Good Luck
