Disable Auto Start

Disable Auto-Start Applications on Startup

Here is the tips I use to disable Auto-Start applications on Startup. Using this tip, you can minimize the startup time of Windows XP and Vista also. You can disable some optional windows applications like Windows messenger, Yahoo messenger, QuickTime and many others auto startup programs that run automatically when you start your computer.

1. Click the Start button, click Run, and type msconfig in and press Enter
   
   
2. A small System Configuration Utility dialog box will appear with many options like General, System.ini Win.ini, Boot.ini, Services, Startup and Tools
   
   
3. Click on the Startup tab and uncheck the applications that you want to disable from your Windows startup
   
   
4. Now click on Apply button to implement the changes, then click the OK button to end the configuration process.
   
   
5. Restart your computer so the changes you made will go into effect

6. Done! Smile and Very happy
