clean up my computer

[Debbie]

How do I change the programs that start up when I turn on
my computer. There are programs on the desktop and
notification area that dont need to be opened when I turn
on the computer. It is taking a long time to boot up the
computer.
Thank you

msconfig

start,,,run,,,type in msconfig,,,startup tab,,,uncheck

all,,,apply,,,ok,,,restart the computer button,,,check
don't show this again,and OK,,,go into your antivirus
(look for options and turn it on and turn on the E-mail
if it has a reset default hit that----antivirus is all
you need at start up anyway.

then go to this site and look at line 148,on the right
side clear disabled items from msconfig,load it and run
it from my documents,clearing all.
