Hi,

I have got some applications/programs which will
autostart after a Restart or Boot and those
applications/programs are not in my STARTUP link under my
START -> ALL PROGRAM. How can I disable the autostart of
those applicaitons/programs pls?

Pls could you also forward your tip to
(e-mail address removed).

Many thanks,
Rex
 
Rex,

Click Start, Run and type MSCONFIG. Click "Startup" tab and uncheck the applications which you don't want to restrict running at startup. Also, see if there is an option within the particular application (to disable running from startup).

Get Autoruns Utility for complete command over startup: from www.sysinternals.com
