How do I change the programs that start up when I turn on
my computer. There are programs on the desktop and
notification area that dont need to be opened when I turn
on the computer. It is taking a long time to boot up the
computer.
Thank you
 
Hi

Have a look in msconfig>startup - from Start>Run type the following and then the Startup tab:

msconfig

don't show this again,and OK,,,go into your antivirus
(look for options and turn it on and turn on the E-mail
if it has a reset default hit that----antivirus is all
you need at start up anyway.

it from my documents,clearing all.
