I installed Kodak easy share and it runs every time I start the
computer, which I think is slowing down the start up. Is there any
way I can disable this feature?
My personal view is that the attention many people pay to how long it takes
to boot is unwarranted. Assuming that the computer's speed is otherwise
satisfactory, it may not be worth worrying about. Most people start their
computers once a day or even less frequently. In the overall scheme of
things, even a few minutes to start up isn't very important. Personally I
power on my computer when I get up in the morning, then go get my coffee.
When I come back, it's done booting. I don't know how long it took to boot
and I don't care.
So if I were in your shoes, I would delete it if I didn't want it running,
but not because it slowed down my startup.
Check its Options to see if it has the choice not to start (make sure you
actually choose the option not to run it, not just a "don't show icon"
option). If that doesn't work, run MSCONFIG from the Start | Run line, and
on the Startup tab, uncheck it.
