start up programs

Why are programs (other than software such as anti-virus software that is immediately used) loaded into memory at startup? Is there such a significance in speed?

    Depending on the program, it can make a lot of difference. A lot of them that auto start are in there unnecessarily. For help in deciding what to keep/lose, go here.

    No, there isn't. In most cases, they are there because the egotism of the programmers makes them think that the user can't possibly live without instant access to their programs.
