Click START button, then click RUN, then type" msconfig," without quotation mark, then click ENTER (or OK). Then click STARTUP tab and uncheck as many programs as your heart desires or disable all. Click Apply, then OK. Click START button, then Restart option (or Shutdown option for starting later on). Then go back (repeat msconfig steps)as needed to re-check back item/s you want to run with startup (the fewer the better for quicker startup or reboot). Each visit to STARTUP tab requires shutdown or restart option and re-starting (right away or later on)to be effective (unless you click CANCEL on the way out).
