I am an IT Professional by day, and am looking to do a little work and blogging on the side.
My first tip relates to Windows XP. For people who want to see what is launching at startup on their machine they can run a built-in command. This command is msconfig.exe. Simply open a Start | Run prompt, (Windows Key + R) and type msconfig.exe and hit enter.
You will be greeted with the "System Configuration Utility" then you want to click on the Startup Tab. You will see a check list of items that are launching on startup. Be warned, some items will be legit, so you do not want to go in and start removing everything.
Once you uncheck the desired (or undesired :) ) applications and hit OK, you will be prompted to reboot now, or reboot later. On reboot, you will get another pop-up letting you know changes were made. You will want to check the checkbox on the pop-up so you do not get the pop-up every time you reboot.
