13. How Remove Unnecessary program from starting automatically?
Tips:- Many programs add portions of themselves staring automatically on every login. This can be either in the startup folder or the registry.
One easy way to tell is by looking at how many icons are in your system tray. If you have a large number, perhaps unnecessary resource are being allocated them as well as increasing your boot time.
Typical examples are Microsoft Office, Office Findfast, Real Player, ATI video setting etc.
Now you can remove them in one of three main ways:-

• In the start>Programs>Startup Folder.
• In the Registry Under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>SOFTWARE>MICROSOFT WINDOWS>CURRECTVERSION>RUN.
• If you have Win98, Winme, or Windows 2000 you can use MSCONFIG to easily remove programs. This is my preference since it allows you to toggle them back on again in case you make a mistake.
