How To Disable Startup Programs In Windows 7 and Vista

Hi friends, you all have noticed that when we purchase a PC or laptop,it starts very fast. This happens due to less number of programs installed in the newly purchased system. But over time as we install more and more software we may start to notice that it takes longer and longer time for our system to start. This is probably because many applications these days hook into your
Windows Startup process and automatically load up each time you start your computer.   For some applications, that’s a good thing (Anti-Virus, Firewall, etc…), however for the majority of apps out there it’s just a resource SUCK which are doing nothing more than taking up memory, cpu and extending the startup times.

Friends, i have a solution for this problem. We can solve this problem by using the Microsoft Configuration tool (msconfig.exe). We can quickly and easily audit what’s running at startup and disable the things we would prefer to just start manually after boot.

“What is the MSConfig Utility?”

MsConfig.exe is utility tool provided by Microsoft to reconfigure the startup programs in your system within all Windows 7 , Vista or XP. You need to be very careful as any mistake may cause in slower performance of your system.Follow the steps described below:
