How to Remove Startup Programs in Windows 7

How to Remove Start Up Programs in Windows 7

After installing many software in your computer, you could notice that the start up of Windows 7 is taking too long. 

This is because when you install certain programs, they are set to automatically start running at the start up of Windows 7. As the number of programs set to start during start up increases, Windows 7 takes more to start up your computer.

Some programs like Antivirus software also start running with the start up of Windows. But it is a necessary one. There might be many other programs which you don’t want to start along with the Windows 7 start up  So you could remove those programs. Just do the following to remove those programs from Windows 7 start up.

1. Click on the start button.
2. Type msconfig in the search box and open it.
3. Select the Start up tab.
4. Un-check the programs you don’t want to start during start up.
5. Click on OK and then Apply.
6. To finish off the procedure, restart your system and you are done.

Now the programs you selected will be removed and will not run at Windows 7 start up anymore unless you enable them again using msconfig.
