    Startup items


    I have a Toshiba Satellite A665 that my dad gave me. I moved everything to a flash drive that he wanted & used Toshiba Recovery to take it back to Factory Settings.

    I am now going through MSConfig to remove some items from Startup (not the computer though) that I don't believe I need. In the pic, I'm going to remove Message Center, Reeltime & Web Camera Application because I can open them manually if I want.

    Online Backup will probably go as well since I don't plan on using it, but what is App Place? Any suggestions on what I really need to keep running & what else should go? I've only had the laptop for a short time & still trying to learn what all these applications are (igfxtray? hkcmd? igfxpers? ...).

    Also, when I've removed entries from Startup on other computers, I usually removed them from the registry directly & haven't had any problems. Although, would it work just as well/better if I went through Services.msc, stopped the service & set the Startup Type to Disabled?

    Hello CJW,

    I wouldn't recommend disabling services for startup items since they could affect other items. It would be safer to uninstall the programs if you don't want them instead.

Hello all: I'm having a problem with items in the startup folder. Upon (re)starting Win7 it will load all the startup items, but one or two don't load. The items that don't load appear to be random, so it's not always one item. I have Win7 on two machines and both exhibit this problem. So...
