Vista and Windows7, sometimes Ubuntu and Fedora
 
 


Only your AntiVirus program has to be in the startups. All others can be disabled. Press Start > type msconfig > hit Enter > go to the Startup button. There you can disable all that junk. And don't be afraid - nothing bad will happen.

Hello illway1.





Here's an easy to use guide that will help you disable some of that stuff, have a look at the link below; just use Option One until you get it figured out.

Or if all else is hard or confusing, you can just get CCleaner and use that to disable what you don't want. It's free and works great, Google it if you wish to try it out.

I agree with CCleaner it's easier than typing msconfig, just go into startup programs and delete all the ones you don't want

also I would not use msconfig because you can cause a lot of problems with your operating systems with just
one wrong click or crash it completly
