Disabling some programs during start-up > how?
Currently my PC has got a lot of programs that run automatically during start-up, so it takes a while, and its really bugging me...
Is there a way to manage what programs run during start-up?

Start>run>type msconfig go to the last one it said something like startup ? there you can uncheck some programs

You can also disable some useless services as well, because some services increase boot time during startup and take up your computer resources by typing services.msc in the run command.

you can disable most if not all updates at start up without any problems.
things like msn home page, drag to disc, Itunes....etc... are optional
google the process names and know what they do then you can decide which you feel don't need to be at start up.
