Computer trivia

After the booting process is completed, the machine will not be available for use until windows starts all the required processes and applications. These applications also include various ‘unnecessary’ ones which may not be useful. Many applications set themselves to start each time Windows starts (these may not necessarily be rogue programs, ex. Yahoo Messenger). Disabling the auto-startup of such applications will speed up the start up process.

Follow these steps.

- Open RUN box and hit ‘msconfig’ to open the configuration window

- Select the ’startup’ tab

- From the list of applications, uncheck all the applications you do not want to start each time windows starts. If you are not sure about any application, better leave it to auto-start

- Click OK and the changes will come into effect the next time Windows boots
