Windows startup programs are used for convenience. For example, it would save time for certain programs to pop up at computer startup rather than one to find the program and launch it manually.

Startup programs are programs that are started when you boot up your computer. To select what programs you do or do not want to open at startup you will need to search for and open the 'msconfig.exe' file. Once 'msconfig.exe' is open, click on the Startup tab, you will see a list of programs. From this list you can select or deselect what programs should open at startup.

How do you change startup programs?

To add/remove programs to start automatically use the "StartUp" Menu on "Start" "Programs". On XP is located on X:\Documents and Settings\XXXXX\Start\Programs. Where XXXXX is the user name or "All Users". To check/remove programs that start automatically but are not located on the "StartUp" folder you can use the "msconfig" and select the "startup" tab and uncheck the programs that you do not want to load or the "regedit" on "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run" and delete the keys for the programs that you don't want to load. ...WARNING...be extra carefull with the "regedit" since this DB is the windows guts.
