How to delete Startup Processes?

Go to start>Run>type msconfig and click OK, Go to start up tab uncheck all and click of then restart. Any thing that is needed to make windows run will automaticly add it's self again. Hope it helps.

Run MSCONFIG...instructions are here: http://netsquirrel.com/msconfig/msc... You could also download & install CCleaner. Use the Cleaner regularly to keep garbage from accumulating on your system. There's also a Registry Scan that should be used occasionally. But for the startup files, click on TOOLS, then STARTUP & you can delete what you don't want on the list. http://www.filehippo.com/download_c... If you do decide to try CCleaner, do NOT allow Yahoo! Toolbar to install.

Go to Start/Run and type msconfig and hit enter. Select startup and uncheck the processes you don't want, ie. nerocheck, justsched, messenger etc. You can start your programs manually whenever you want but this will stop them from starting at bootup. Don't turn off programs associated with your antivirus or firewall if you have one. I hope this helps you. Cheers LOL, I guess we were all answering at the same time. OVV

chris, what if he unchecks his anti-virus & firewall? larry

Thanks for all the help - I ran msconfig per instructions, leaving spysweeper, mcafee and dell processes intact - trimmed from 64 to 49 processes and everything seems to work fine - thanks much.

Apparently Autoruns, from Sysinternals, is not known on this list. I wouldn't use, nor recommend, anything else for this job and the other utilities in the suite are all very useful tools. All for free, no less! http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/... or http://tinyurl.com/2huxp3
