Start up programs
In an effort to speed up my start up time I downloaded instructions from Microsoft's download site. One option used Windows Defender. I tried that. It changed nothing. I then tried an option using msconfig. I unchecked certain programs leaving my Anti Virus and Microsoft Operating programs. After a restart nothing had changed. The desktop still had the same icons. Maybe there is something I don't understand about start up programs. Has anyone any comments on this matter. Thanks. -- GordonHS

How does Windows Defender speed up your start time? What do desktop icons have to do with your start up time? NO SENSE.

Start up programs
look in START/ALL PROGRAMS/STARTUP and see if you have any programs you think you can eliminate (right-click and delete). you wont be deleting the program, just a shortcut. also check down near the clock to see whats running. you can also look in ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS in CONTROL PANEL and uninstall software you dont use. and you can try this:'Download Autoruns 9.53 - FileHippo.com' (http://www.filehippo.com/download_autoruns/) there are a lot more things that can slow your sytem. not enough RAM, fragmented hard drive, viruses, etc. -- kword88
