Find and Remove Not Useful Programs from Start Up

Everyone wants to keep his computer running in a fast and sleek way.The programs that run at Start Up play a major part in utilising the memory.The programs which are useless consume a lot of recoverable memory.

                                                In this post I will tell how you can find which programs are useful for you at Start Up and must be running for system’s proper working.

 

                                                To begin first find which programs are running at your Start Up by using the registry ( Read Tutorial By WIndows Registry Editor Blog ) or by using free softwares like Start Up Control Panel. For both beginners and advance users I will recommend Start Up Control Panel as it allow easy and advance navigation of Start Up list.

 After you have found which programs are running at the Start Up ,go to the Start Up Database of Bleeping Computers at http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/startups/ .Type in the file name along with the extension in the search box.Remember dont type the whole path just type in the file name along with extension  . e.g WZQKPICK.exe

                                                You will get the complete information about the file including file type,description,fix errors and most importantly whether its important to run on Start Up or not.

 After you have find whether the program is not useful ,you can disable it or delete the entry :) .

                                                You can also search for the Root Kit database and even submit your own Start Up entries :P .You can ask question at the forums .There are many tutorials also available.There is also a list of Top Start Ups maintained by them.

 

Enjoy a Faster Computing! :mrgreen:

    Yupe,useful for everyone :cool:

    Thanks for the mention..

  2. Nice post…it’s funny to see a lot of guys with something like 10-15 startup items. I have just 2 – my avast! resident scanner and the Glary memory optimizer, which frees up the RAM if it’s clogged by the heavy apps like OOo, RSSOwl or Firefox. :)

    P.S. Your redesigned theme looks great! Loads up much faster than before too! :grin:

  3. Siddharth says:

    thx :mrgreen:

    I am glad u liked the new theme :P
    I wanted my theme to work for Indians SO I wanted a light theme and got this :D
    Although it has a lot of images :P

  6. Nickmeister says:

    Thanks, I’ve been looking for this program to download for a long time (since I don’t like deleting straight from the registry, it seems way too dangerous). =)

  7. Nickmeister says:

    oh wait…I tried installing, and apparently Startup Control Panel doesn’t work with vista =/ I’m not surprised…

    Anyways, does anyone know where I can find a vista-compatible Startup Control Panel? I’ll be searching the website right now, hopefully it’s there. :???:

  8. Nickmeister says:

    OH WAIT! I can just use the stand-alone exe version. nm :grin:

  9. Defilar says:

    Start > Run > msconfig

  10. Nickmeister says:

    Oh thanks, Defilar, That works too. :smile:

  11. Siddharth says:

    @nickmeister you automatically found that :mrgreen: ;)
    @Defliar thanks for telling the another way

  12. You could also use run > msconfig to disable any programs, but this way also works

  13. Siddharth says:

    :mrgreen:
    @Rajai this post is about how to find programs which are useful at start up and not how to disable them :D
    anyqayz thx for the comment :P

  14. :lol: I know, but I meant that typing msconfig in run is another way to see the startup programs and disable them :wink:
