I used to have Windows 98 and was able to prevent programmes from automatically starting up via system information
I now have Windows XP and cant do it that way.I end up having to close each one seperately each time. So basically, what im trying to ask is, how do i stop programmes from running automatically in the background everytime the comp starts up
Does any of that make sense? Any reply would be appreciated. Thanks.
 
Open cmd prompt,type in the string,(like:Defrag /d) adding
/d to a cmd turns off the auto-run.
 
Use Start > Run > msconfig.

This will show you all the programs that are starting up, you can
choose which ones to disable. Once you reboot, tick off the pop up
that shows up informing you that msconfig is running, so it doesn't
appear every time the machine boots.
