programs loaded at startup

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics (More info?)

I have Windows XP and when I turn my computer it takes a while for all the
programs to load, most of these programs I would prefer not to load.

When I look at the Task Manager there are about 30 or 40 programs loaded.

I need to know where to go to find out what these programs do and how to
delete or prevent them from being loaded.

I am familiar with the Start up Folder on Start Button.

Hi

Which tab are you looking at in Task Manager - Applications or Processes?

You may wish to check here http://www.sysinfo.org/startupinfo.html It gives
you a list of programs that are set to run at Startup and a legend to
determine if you should disable them or not.
