Command to choose windows program to run on starting up

[spekay]

Hello, I would like to know the windows command to select only a few programs to run on start up , not the the default programs

 

[arael]

start --> Run --> MSConfig
Go into the startup tab and deselect the ones you don't want to load at startup.

 

[davcon]

System Configuaration utility and pin to start menu.
So you don't have to type that or msconfig in search

Once you've set the startup programs, the only time you're likely to go back into msconfig is if you've installed more applications.
Not sure if it warrants pinning to start menu ...

Huh it's handy two clicks!
So i guess you never use safe mode or uncheck start programs.
Msconfig is great for XP.
No longer needed once pinned.
It's the same thing anyways.

I use it a fair bit at work, as I'm a network admin, but I guess I'm just used to pressing win+r and typing it.

And yeah, very rarely need safe mode and have very few programs starting up

start --> Run --> MSConfig
Go into the startup tab and deselect the ones you don't want to load at startup.
