Have an HP laptop with XP. but at startup it takes a while to get going and I'm assuming there are programs starting up I really don't want nor need and would like to clear these off. No sense them taking up my space for no reason.
There's nothing on my Startup, says only 6 programs so they have to be somewhere else. Always try and keep it clean and no junk, even on the desktop (I hate everything having to have a shortcut!).... but it's not a new machine and maybe it's just age catching up? Hope not, it's been a great little machine.....
Have any suggestions for me? I'd really appreciate it.....

Jump to PostTry using ccleaner; under the Tools you can easily(and safely) disable any of the programs running at Startup. It's also handy for cleaning up temp files, etc.

If your system hangs about 2 or 3 minutes at startup, where you can't access the Start button or the Taskbar, it may be due to one specific service (Background Intelligent Transfer) running in the
background.
1. Press Win Key+r, type 'msconfig', then click 'OK'.
