Bought a new computer but it appears to be sluggish? This is due to the ’startup’ programs that comes pre-installed with every software. Programmers loves to sneak in a few line of codes that enables their applications to boot up together with Windows, usually these programs runs at the background without our knowledge, thus using up RAM and processing power in turn causing our computer to be sluggish.
Here is a simple tutorial on how to disable these programs from booting up or starting up whenever windows Vista or Xp boot. First, select the ‘Run’ command.

Once done, a dialog box will appear and type ‘msconfig’ as shown in the image below. Hit ‘ok’.

Another dialog box will appear, select the ’startup’ tab and proceed disabling or enabling the programs that you wants it to boot up together with Windows. Hit ‘Ok’ when you’re done.

Restart your comp, the next time when your windows bootup, a dialog box would appear and it says, you have modify some setting… blah blah blah, just check on the only ‘check box’ that say ‘never show this again’ and hit ‘ok’.
That’s all folks, no software needed.
