Programs at Start Up

[Kitche]

Hello to All

Just a quick one..........I have a few programs that automatically launch themselves when the pc boots up.

Piolet for example seems to disrupt my internet session..

How do I stop these programs?

Thanks

There are a couple of places programs get started from.

1.) the registry - you can disable these via the startup tab of MSCONFIG (go to START - RUN - then type MSCONFIG)
2.) The start menu - START - PROGRAMS - STARTUP (delete stuff in here by right clicking and choosing delete)

To find out if a program needs to run or not (and for more detailed explanations of how to remove stuff) check out the site below.
