Click your start button, then find the box that says "Run"
click this, and then when a tiny window pops up, type in "msconfig" (no quotes) and press enter.
When this window pops up, click on the Startup tab and check or uncheck desired/undesired programs you wish to start when you start your computer

Start / Run / type msconfig
Hit Enter.
Go to the startup tab.
Uncheck any unneeded programs.
OK
Go to Start / Programs/ Startup
Delete all shortcuts
Restart.
Take note of what apps load in your task bar after startup.
Some things, like AIM, Yahoo Messanger, etc, you have to manually go in to their options and turn off the "load at startup" feature.
Go to control panel and uninstall all unneeded apps.
Restart.
Clean out all temp files.
Run defrag.

go to START, click RUN, then in the window on the right side from Open type MSCONFIG then click the OK. Go to STARTUP and in the windows there uncheck the programs you do not want to start up.

go to start and then run. type in msconfig and then go to the startup tab. it will list all of the programs that run from startup. just be carefule that you don't shut anything off that needs to be on.

start > Run > in the tab type in msconfig > click the start menu tab > unselect what you don't want to start up at startup...and hopefully this will help..also delete all tem files and defrag your drive along with extra ram.

well first you have to know what the unecessary ones are.. then its simply of going to the start button click on RUN and type in msconfig.exe and when the window pops up go to the last tab (STARTUP) and uncheck any boxes you dont want to run on start up, and reboot
