Start Up

persephone1946 · 04-24-2008

Google is not helping on the start up items much. Many new things on Vista. I need help on what not to have start up when the computer starts up. Any info is appreciated.

Peace

Welcome to the forums!

Here is a link that should help on what services are needed and not needed. Scroll down a little ways and you will find what is default and what is safe to disable. It is pretty well self-explanatory.

If you are talking about services then JaxMacFL has given you the link.
If you are asking about the Startup file in System Configuration then look at this.

It can be a place to start.

TuneUp America - TuneUp Utilities 2008 has some good features especially picking out untrustworthy startup entrys...

Hello JaxMacFL,

I meant to post this earlier; I got side tracked...

Thank you for this, as I am using it myself.

You shouldn’t disable services using Vista since it automatically shuts them down when there not being used plus its more responsive and runs better on defaults, Microsoft changed the way services worked on Vista because people where always disabling things they actually needed for the OS to run.

After setting up hundreds of Vista machines I have found its better to leave them using defaults, Trust me when I say You Don’t need to change the Services one bit, Vista takes care of them itself unlike XP and you should only change them if they are causing severe problems while using your computer.

Thank you for the info.
