How to Access and Disable Startup file in Windows 7

Browsing the web, downloading files, downloading and installing programs from the internet and someday you've notice that the computer boots up at startup  so slow. It might be the computer full of garbage such as temporary files generated from browsing the web, unnecessary program installed in your computer, web browser addons , etc. 

These are the possible causes of Windows computer slowdown during startup:

• a lot of startup files - perform msconfig
• fragmented files - performed disk defragmentation
• two anti-virus program installed – retain one
• some corrupt files of Windows system files – perform disk check

Some programs in the startup item is totally unnecessary, such as shopping addons installed without your knowledge. With this type of program you have to remove it first at Programs and Features located inWindows 7 Control Panel.

You can remove the startup file by invoking the msconfig command. To do this:

• Go to start
• click search program and files
• type msconfig and hit enter on the keyboard

 The system configuration utility appears.



All the checked startup files indicated in the picture are loaded every time booting up the computer , the bigger the type of program loaded in startup file, the slower the computer starts. 
In my experienced it’s okay to uncheck the entire startup item except the antivirus program. If you uncheck the antivirusprogram from startup, your windows 7computer will be no longer protected against spyware, viruses, trojan or worm.  

Note: Some programs have two startup settings, even if you unchecked it to msconfig its still process or launch in startup. To disable open those program and navigate its setting and uncheck the item such as loads when windows starts or any related word regarding startup.
