Thread: How to remove startup programs/services!

If your computer is really slow turning on, try this:

1.) Hit Start

2.) Hit Run

3.) Type msconfig (Image Above ^).
4.) Go to the startup tab and remove anything not needed.

NOTE: This is for Vista/XP.

Services, disable ONLY what you don't use. (like indexing)
1.) Hit Start

2.) Hit Control Panel


3.) Hit System and Maintenance (Image Above ^).
4.) Hit Administrative Tools.


5.) Hit Services.


6.) Now find the services you want to disable.


7.) Double click on one, under startup type change it to disable.


NOTE: This is for Vista Only. For XP Read below.

Sorry, I can't post pictures for this one, I don't have XP. Though it's pretty much the same. Just attempt to follow the above pictures.
1.) Hit Start.
2.) Hit Run.
3.) Type services.msc
4.) Disable all that's not needed.
