Every time you startup your computer there are always a few unnecessary programs starting up in the background. This slows the boot process down. There are two ways to control which application launches at startup. One way is to use a program like Tweak UI, or you can change it manually yourself. Here’s how…
- Click the Start button (left bottom of screen) or the windows key on your keyboard.
- Then choose the Run.
- In the text box type msconfig
- Then choose the Startup TAB
- Simply un-tick the ones you would like to disable.
- Then Press Apply and then OK.
- It will ask you to re-boot your computer.
- When you restart it a window comes up that says you have chosen Selective Startup. Just Tick the box, Do not show this window again and then click OK.
NOTE: Do not change anything you are not sure of. The bottom three programs on the list above are not necessary. There is a Device detector, Acrobat reader, and Microsoft Office. I can stop these from using my startup resources. However I definitely do not want to turn my firewall off, which is further up on the list.
