MSConfig is your best friend.
----i am not sure how this is designed but, see if this helps. 1. From the run dialogue, type MSConfig. - Original Message ----- 2. Press enter. 3. Ctrl-tab to the start up area and determine what programs you need and what ones you don't need buy unchecking and checking boxes. 4. Once that is done, tab to apply and restart the system.

I am running Windows 7 and W E 8.1. I suspect a number of programs are being started that I don’t usually need. How can I determine what programs are being run at start up and stop those running which are not needed? Thanks for any help.
