removing progrmas from startup
How do I safely remove programs from startup? There are printing programs and calendars and dumb stuff like that really dragging down the startup. I looked at the programs themselves, and there is no checkbox to uncheck to not run on startup. I had this happen before, but I can't remember how to do it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am running Windows XP.

- Hey aldazar84;
If you are inclined to do so search for a program called Autoruns. This program lists a lot of the stuff that is configured to run at start-up or in explorer etc. PLEASE, be careful with this because you can delete things that are required for the system to operate properly. Don't delete things you are unsure about. If you right-click on any of the listings in the program it will give you the option to search the web for information. BE ABSOLUTELY SURE OF WHAT YOU ARE DISABLING. If you are not sure then post a query here. There are a lot of good people that follow these forums so I am sure your problems will get resolved.
