Solve : How can I see what programs my computer turns on when I start it on??

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:

Quiet a number of startups...

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.
