I have just recieved an email from one of our readers on deleting programs on startup, it goes;

‘Jim, I am trying to delete programs that try to start on the bootup process, I was told to go to control panel – all programs – startup and to delete unwanted program. But I did all that and I am still having massive problems at bootup with many programs like skype trying to start up, and my boot takes around 5 mins. Any help will be appreciated, thanks.’

Well Nicole you have done half the process for deleting programs starting up on your boot (you are not deleting the actual program), all you need now to do is to delete them through msconfig.

To access msconfig do the following;

• Type run in your start search
• Type msconfig in the run area
• Click on the startup tab
• Uncheck the programs you don’t want at startup
• Click apply and you are done

I hope that helps out with your bootup Nicole, for any more questions please swing an email.
