There are lot of programs which startup when you boot a PC and login. Most of them you do not need and they just sit there consuming CPU and memory. I am talking about Windows based PCs.

There are ways to get over this problem and MSCONFIG (Microsoft System CONFIGuration) utility is one of them. It allows you to disable programs from the startup list so that they don’t come up at boot/login time.

In order to launch this tool:

Start -> Run -> type “msconfig” and hit “OK” button

Go to the startup tab:


and uncheck any item which you do not want to come up at start time. Hit “Ok” and you are done. The system might ask you to “Restart”. You can chose to restart then or restart later “Exit Without Restart”.
