How to get rid of unwanted Windows programs that load automatically when you start the computer:
Click “start” at the bottom of the Windows screen and then “run.” Type “msconfig” (without the quotes) in the blank line. Hit return and select the “startup” tab from the menu of folders that appears. Uncheck any box next to a program you don’t want to start automatically. If you’re unsure, it’s safe to choose “disable all.” The computer will still start normally. You can always go back to msconfig and check the things you want.
