Slow start up

543 Views 3 Replies 2 Participants Last post by  MFDnNC
I am running windows XP. On booting up I am having to wait 2-3 minutes whilst my PC loads up all the various programes installed on it. This is proving to be a real pain!.

Is there a way that you can instruct only those applications that are most in use to commence at start up, thereby reducing the start up time.


Thanks

Thanks for the reply. When I checked the 'start up' tab under MISCONFIG there did not seem to be that many applications from which to choose. Should this have ALL the applications that I am currently running. For example I have Encarta on my hard drive which is some 2GB's. This is not available under MISCONFIG.

Is there any reason for this?


Thanks
