XP Start-up
 

hey guys.. when i start up XP it automaticaly loads a few programs like messenger, avg, printer settings ect. now i want to use these but i have some others down there (bottom right) and i am woundering how can i set up windows so it doesn't start up with all these programs?
thanks

Start, run, msconfig, startup tab.

Thanks
 

thanks BIGHAP.. does anyone know what progies need to be running for windows XP to work correctly?
thanks again!

Only keep the obvious ones:
Graphs Card
AVG
FIrewall
etc..

i know lucial.. i know what i want to keep on when it starts up but there are tones of things in there checked..like the explorer and system tray i believe need to be there but what else?
thanks a lot!

look, when windows starts up it automaticly loads the critical, wich wont show there. All there are, in a way "optional" yes yes u want ur graphs card to load, but technicly the pc can load without it. Aniways, its up to you what u want to load at first.

kk thanks.. now just to clarify.. if i were to uncheck everything in there then windows wud still boot and function 100%? if so then thats a lot eaiser..
thanks

well kinda. ok lemmie put it this way, this is what i have on mine.
Graphics Card
Firewall
Anti Virus
Msn messenger


The rest are unchecked, i recomend u leave graphics, firewall and antivirus on tho

OK.. i get it now.. thanks a lot luciel!!

anytime m8
