Stopping Auto Startup Windows XP

[MobileCheese]

Hello

I installed some software on my PC and it went fine.

Problem I have now is that when I start my machine it starts up about 10 processes which are part of the main app I installed, It now takes about 15mins for my PC to boot up and stablise. Question is,

1. What do I need to do in Windows XP to stop is starting the 10 apps processes up on startup, I know what they are called ?

I just really want to be able to start up the app when I want and for it to not start everything up when I start my machine up



Thanks

start-run-msconfig should have it.

Otherwise in the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run

Hi,

I just used the start-run-msconfig found all the services and processes I didnt want to run on startup and disabled them. Then did a restart PC booted up in seconds though I got a msg on the screen saying that I 'used the system config tool, and it was in selective mode' and I should go in and change it back to 'normal', setting it to normal would start everything I didnt want. There was an option though saying dont show this msg again so I could leave it in 'selective', is it fine to do this ?

Only in windows do you have to install a program to remove another, fantastic!!

On a Mac... Drap the app to Trash. Next
