5614 Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Yeah... go to: Start Menu > Run > msconfig > Startup Then untick the ones you don't want, then Apply > OK When you boot up next time there will be a little message saying that the Sys config has been changed, tick the box so the message doesn't appear every time you boot and click OK. NB: This assumes you are using winXP NB2: Be careful what you are disabling. You could disable your firewall and AV. Also just because it says Microsoft doesn't mean it is good - for example you don't need MS Office running at startup. Good list of Windows Processes and info can be found here: http://www.liutilities.com/products/wintaskspro/processlibrary/ If you want to double check something then look it up there, if you're not sure if you actually *need* it then ask here.
