Simple Computer Maintenance - Remove Startup Items

Does your computer take a really long time to startup?

If you have unwanted items starting with windows it can and will slow down the boot process and they will take up memory. Navigate to the Startup Programs area to view which programs are set to start when you login to Windowes.  Go to the following:


Start Menu > Programs > Startup.

You will find programs in this folder, just delete the ones you do not want to automatically start. Then move on to the following:

Start Menu > Run > Type in: msconfig.exe [Enter] Click the Startup tab and uncheck any items you don’t want to startup.

WARNING - if you dont know what some of these programs are, do not un-check them.  Please do a google search or calls us for assistance!  Removing critical Startup items from your Startup tab can cause unwanted errors!
