Disabling Programs to boost startup

Have you ever logged onto your computer and it takes a long time before you can do anything because there are a ton of programs loading first. Well if you use them but, not as often you can disable them at start up rather than uninstall them. This can make your startup alot faster.

 
 
 
  1. Click start, and click run or (in Windows Vista & 7) in the search field type msconfig.
  2. Once system configuration is displayed click the startup tab, and look for programs that you don't need at startup. The manufactorer tab should help you with your selection.
  3. Then once you have browsed and made your selections (clearing the checkbox), click OK.
    Caution: If you do not know what the startup item is, don't disable it. Make sure it's programs you don't want at startup.
Once your computer has restarted, you should tell  difference in startup time.
