Start-up processes

When I start my computer (with a 2.6 processor), it works
very slowly - perhaps 15 or 20 second to respond to a
key-press - and I have found (from the Task-Bar Manager)
that about 15 processes are running (this is apart from
SYSTEM processes), and I see that the performance is
showing 100% processor usage. By stopping some of the
processes, I can cut the usage to a few percent, so that my
applications work as fast as they should.

Is there any way I can stop these processes starting
automatically at start-up?
 
Hi

You can stop Services running by Start>Run - then type in "services.msc". Right click the appropriate service, select Properties and use the drop down menu in against 'Startup type:'. Services can be disabled via the drop down menu. If you need to see if any other Service is dependent on the one that you are going to disable, go to the Dependencies tab - disabling some Services may mean that others will not function properly.
