How to Disable a Microsoft Windows Startup Program

Startup programs are the programs which start automatically when your computer turns on. This may slow down your booting process as these applications need to start along with other important components of software. Some of the notorious examples are yahoo messenger, Google talk and Power ISO and some other such applications which you hate to be prompted in front of you when you boot.

Let's jump to the solution directly now, after understanding the importance and problem area. Below are the steps to follow:

• Go to Start menu
• Click on Run
• Type 'msconfig'

This will open System Configuration utility. Click on 'startup' tab. This will show you a list of applications which are startup programs or can be set as startup programs. Uncheck all the unwanted applications which you don't love to be started automatically next time you boot your computer. Click on apply and OK. Reboot your machine and reboot later and you will notice changes next time you boot your computer.
