When I boot up several programs load that I dont want to run. How can I
remove these programs from the startup menu?
In addition how can I stop programs from going and looking for updates every
time I boot up?
Hi,
All reputable programs will have an Option or settings to allow or disallow
them from Start Up with windows, so try the configurations Option first.
Then you can take them OFF from here:
C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Start menu\Programs\StartUp = look in the
right Pane/window and remove the Programs/apps you don't want to start up
with the OS.
Also the updates can run if the program(s) running an Update service in
Services control panel, so try to make it/set it to manual instead of Auto.
Then try the Autoruns.exe
HTH.
