How to make applications not start on startup ?

Always if i restart my comp i get too many applications open up, how to turn it off ?

Hi there,

There are several ways to stop applications from starting up. Most will have the option in setting of the application which can be switced off. If not then you can be a little more forcefull:

Way 1:
Open windows explorer (right click on the start button and left click explore. Navigate to the folder called "Startup" and remove the applications from there, these are only shortcuts so wont damage the actual programs.

Way 2:
Use MSCONFIG to prevent the services from starting. To do this click on the start button and click on run. Type in msconfig and click OK. This will bring a tabbed box up and you need to select the startup tab. Deselect the application that you don’t want to start. This is a good tool for diagnosing applications that are having problems.

Hope this help.
