getting rid of excess processes

Comment:

I want to configure my computer to start up without starting a whole bunch of unnecessary programs. How do I set it up to only start the essential programs that are necessary for Windows to run properly? Also, how do I know which programs those are?

Reply:

Start->Run->msconfig->Startup-> check for each entry in http://www.sysinfo.org/startuplist.php and disable the unnecessary ones.All the Best
