When my computer first turns on, how do I change the applications that automatically start?? Thanks!?

Answer 1

click on start > run type msconfig. Press ok. Click on Startup tab. Uncheck names of those programs there that you do not need at startup. (These settings are reversible, if you uncheck something and later decide that it is necessary at startup; you can always come back and change the settings again.) Press Apply. Press close. Click on restart to reboot the computer. After reboot system configuration message window appears . Check the box that says do not display this again, and press ok to close the box.

Answer 3

Use msconfig to control the startup services.

A less daunting way to control popular programs you commonly use daily is to get to your startup folder and drag and drop your favorite much-used programs that you want started each time you start the computer. Get to it from Windows Explorer>C:\>Documents & Settings>your name>start menu>programs>startup

I put a shortcut to this folder on my desktop so if I want to change stuff, I just open the folder and delete or add a program shortcut.

Good Luck
