Perhaps you have noticed that any time you have a new Windows based computer, that when you boot it up, it will be so speedy, but shortly thereafter startup usually takes forever? This is usually a common problem that virtually every pc user encounters. This information is going to go over one of the main perpetrators which are your Windows startup programs. We are going to offer some computer techniques to remove them and the way to increase the Windows startup process.

Among the first things you have to be aware of is that whenever you install a new program, or download a tool originating from a website, you almost certainly inadvertently added it to load into startup programs. More often than not you could have even installed some kind of spyware or malware without knowing. Typically you will notice many of these icons running in your system tray, which is located in the right hand corner within your taskbar near the clock. You most likely notice them loading during Windows startup. Most likely you have assumed these startup programs are necessary, however, a number of these can be removed and should be removed.

In this article, we will explain one of many techniques on how to disable a number of these startup programs. As a general rule of thumb, anything that looks like it could be a vital system file, like your graphics software, virus protection, Microsoft programs, firewall, and so on, should not be disabled.

And listed below are the steps with which you can see and disable what exactly is actually booting up and using up system resources each time you start Windows:

1.In the start menu click on RUN

2.Type "msconfig" (without the " ") and click OK.

Once there click the tab "Startup"

4.Now un-tick programs you wish to not load.

5.When finished click the Apply then OK.

6.For the settings to be implemented, you must reboot your system.

Listed here are a few of the startup programs you may disable if they are listed in your startup programs:

*Msmsgs - Used with Windows Messenger

*RealPlay - Real Player

*iTunesHelper - Used with iTunes

*Adobe Reader - Used with Adobe Acrobat

*Yahoo! Pager

When you have rebooted, and Windows starts, hopefully you notice that it takes less time as you have disabled several startup programs. If you find that there still are a great number of startup programs you are able to repeat the method stated above, and try disabling others that are listed in your Windows startup programs tab. If that still does not speed up the process you can read our next article that will discuss other strategies of speeding up the Windows startup process.
