How do i view all the programs that startup as soon as my computer start's up?

Answer 1

Basically you can do it with the following

1. Click Start -> Run
2. Type “msconfig” (without quotes) and press OK
3. You’ll see a dialog box and there you’ll find a tab called “Startup”
4. This contains all the types of programs running when you start the computer.
5. You can uncheck the programs you don’t want to run; BUT DO THIS WITH CARE.

Additional information

These programs are running based on the information given as follows

1. Some programs run from the startup folder. Usually located in following folders

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

2. Some programs run based on the following registry key values
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
