I found this in my weekly mail from PCSTATS newsletter.
I wont miss those letters.
I think this will interest a whole lot in here...
------
MS Config Cleanup
While freshly installed computers are generally free from bloatware and boot-clogging software, pre-installed notebooks are notoriously clogged with all manner of junk that loads at startup. To find out what's in your PC, go Start > type "msconfig" in the search box by the Start button and hit enter > under the 'Startup' tab you'll find a complete list of the 'Startup Items', who 'Manufactured' the program and what the 'Command' instruction is.
It takes a little bit of investigative work to determine what's what, I find expanding the Command line gives the best insight into what programs are launching. For example, you may see several entries for Adobe PDF, PowerDVD or even web cameras which really don't need to be loaed unless you open these applications. Uncheck what you don't need to load at start up and reboot the PC. To clean out the MSCONFIG list you need to use Msconfig Cleaner which can permenantly remove any unchecked item.
Depending on how much is cleaned out, you could see a healthy improvement to start up times!
-------
I use other programs to clean up my win start, CCleaner or Advanced System Care, then you can have a normal start up in windows config.
Many of those programs will still run after you load your flight sims, and thats not optional

Running programs.. the bain of my FSX career. I have Game Booster in which one can control how many processes to stop. But what processes are safe to shut down? I never wanted to search for 43 running processes so I live with them.
Game booster does shut some down and leaves us with the option to add more.

Are we talking about the same issue here?
Game booster does a very good job.
Try and open msconfig in start/run type msconfig/ok. Click the start button and you'll se. I got 2 running at startup, MS Security and Intel turbo boost. All others i've closed using ccleaner, cause i dont need 'em before i ask for 'em.
It can be different at your place and only you knows what you always need when on the pc.
Hope you understand me

I think we are on the same page? I thought running processes start during boot up.. I could be very very very misguided again.
Any way it looks I'm crippled with startup crap.
I have no idea what skytel is or most of this stuff, so my point was, I am never sure what to turn off.

How i would like to scroll down on that page!
I dont see any i would have at start up, but i'm always curious on "WINDOWS"!
LEAVE your AV program on start!!
You must know, that a lot of installed programs put themself into win startup. Why, i dont know, but adverticing comes into mind. You dont need them there, they will start when you're asking.
The more you got running, the more slower your pc will be, and i can see a lot in your msconfig you could do without.
You can always activate back if something goes wrong.
Use ccleaner to stop any start up programs you want, dont do it in msconfig, then you will get a normal start in windows configuration.
Be aware of this tho

Thats ok Steve.
Just to make things clear.
Running processes you can see by typing
services.msc in run, but i would recommend you dont touch anything there, before you're absolutely sure what you're doing!
The startup process is another matter.
