system processes that start when i boot

[Guest]

scince i installed several more programs it seems like i have to many processes running when i start windows. i shut off the ones in the system tray that i dont want running all the time bbut there are a lot of them left in the task manager. i dont want to uninstall everything but i dont want them to load unless i need them. some things are listed twice also. how do i determine what loads when i start windows?

1. Click Start - Run, type MSCONFIG and press enter.
2. Click Startup tab and uncheck all those applications that you do not want
to run at startup and in the background.
3. Click Apply & OK, restart the computer.

This should do it.
