Does your computer takes forever to start? System seems to crawl rather than run? Too many useless programs running in the systray? Sex Dialers and worms turning your PC into a hacker's slave?
You'd be surprised by how much junk can silently execute themselves when you hit that "ON" button.
I recommend 2 excellent pieces of software which can help you see and control what starts and what doesn't.
Windows Startup Inspectors is a newbie friendly program that will connect to its database to retrieve info about whether those entries in your startup folder and registries can be safely disabled. Rating - 4.5/5
For powerusers, I recommend Autoruns by the geniuses at Sysinternals. This one has many powerful features and even detects BHOs (browser helper objects). Rating - 5/5
