    Programs running in background


    Alright for the life, in windows 7, I can not figure out how to tell what programs are running in the background upon startup ie: antivirus, firewall, etc, and how can I add/delete programs in this area? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you;

    Hi Mikem, welcome to the Seven Forums.

    Click and type msconfig to the search field, then press enter.

    Choose Services tab to see what services are running, Startup tab shows you which programs are started when you boot.

    Hope this helps.
