startup programmes

You don't "need" any of those programs to run at startup. They can all be safely removed from your startup folder. When you start your machine all you want is for the OS to load. Having other programs run at startup will just slow things down. I have my machines configured to load only two things: "explorer" and "systray" I'm using Win98SE and run msconfig and uncheck everything under startup except the two above. You could also leave "scanreg" checked if you want. What OS are you running?

For starters, you can remove programs from the startup folder, and it won't uninstall the program from your compuer. Under programs, you have folder called start up, you should have a list of programs, these programs start at startup. You can deletethem and start them when you need them by going to the program file itself. The other way of tell what programs start at start up is to look at the system tray. Right click on the an icon (next to the clock), and exit/end the program, some programs will ask you if you would like them to startup at start again. The other thing you may want to do is to clear off your desktop of files. If you have to keep them on your desktop, keep a shortcuts.

Of those listed KILL outlook. You should never have outlook load at statup. I would get rid of winamp and WMP also. That dosn't need to load at statrup.

Run the System Configuration Utility, (if you're using win 95/98/me) by simpl clicking start>run, they type msconfig..

Click the Startup TAB....
You may see a small checkbox, means all the box attached with name of program....have check are loaded to your system during start-up....
So check only the program that you wan't to load during startup and leave uncheck to those you don't want to load....

Press OK

It will ask for restart to take effect..
So press yes to restart...

Hope this can..
