I suspect there are lots of programs in the startup menu that don't really need to be there. Take a look at the lower right corner of your system tray.

Do you see lots of icons there? These are the ones that start up each time you boot. You can turn off for those you don't need at boot up. You can always start them when you want them and shut them down when done. Go to start, run and type msconfig click ok.

Click the startup tab all the way to the right. It looks like something as shown below in the image. The performance becomes poor and slow. In such case you need to disable some of your start-up tasks which are not essential for the system.

See the steps below for steps to disable start-up tasks. Startup tasks can be easily disabled with the help of a utility by Microsoft called Autoruns. You can download Autoruns from this link. After download, unzip and run Autoruns. It will load like snapshot below.

Click on Logon tab as shown in red circle in picture below. Logon tab shows all the tasks which are automatically start every time windows starts. For example , in some computers, at logon, web cam software, acrobat reader, real player up-dater, yahoo messenger , etc. To disable un-necessary items to load at logon, simply un-check those items in the log-on tab as below. These applications can be started later when needed from start menu. After un-checking, just restart your computer and see the difference.

NOTE: Do not disable tasks which you are not very sure about, as they may stop some useful applications to stop from loading at start-up. Technorati Tags: computer-slow,slow-boot,slow-start-up. We logon to windows server from XP system.
