Answer» How can I see what programs my computer (LIKE the list the computer has) turns on when I start it on? Note: Could be of only the programs I installed.... I want to try to make some of them to not start when I start on my computer.Start -> Run...
Type in: msconfig Click "OK".
"Startup" tab... should list everything.Cool, thanks.
I can stop some of the programs (that I installed) from starting up right after I turn on my computer and just turn them on when I need them. Right?usually, depends on what the program is, some are required for some hardware to work properly.Download, and install Quick Startup: http://www.glarysoft.com/qs.html Go File>Export, save report, and paste it into your next post.
We'll tell you what's safe to disable.Here's the Report:

Following entries can be safely disabled, using Quick Startup: - Acer Product Registration - Acer Tour Reminder - IgfxTray - Persistence - Start WingMan Profiler - Windows Mobile Device Center - WindowsWelcomeCenter - WMPNSCFG
I also RECOMMEND uninstalling Adobe Acrobat Reader, which is huge, slow program, and replacing it with FoxIt: http://filehippo.com/download_foxit/. It does very same thing, is smaller, and faster. In this case Adobe Reader Speed Launcher can be uninstalled, as well.
