I have quite a number of programs installed in my PC.
Many of them, e.g. SQL Server, MSN Messenger, etc are not used everyday, but only very occasionally.
But every time, after boot of the PC, they all start up consuming a lot of time until system is really available to work with.
I've tried looking into
- Inicio (Spanish version of Start ?) ,
- MSConfig, ... With MSConfig, the list of programs is such a huge bunch, with names I can't even figure out to which programs belong, or what thy are used for...
- Regedit
Is there any esaier way to stop some programs from staring automatically, rather than uninstalling them?
TIA
