how do i stop certain programs from starting up every time i start a
windows session?
On each program you don't want to start automatically, check its
Options to see if it has the choice not to start. Many can easily
and best be stopped that way. If that doesn't work, run MSCONFIG
from the Start | Run line, and on the Startup tab, uncheck the
programs you don't want to start automatically.
What you should do is determine what each program is, what its
value is to you, and what the cost in performance is of its
running all the time. You can get more information about these
with google searches and by asking about specifics here.
Once you have that information, you can make an intelligent
informed decision about what you want to keep and what you want
to get rid of.
