Start up cleaner.....

r there any softwares that stops the startup programs, so that my comp's stat up becomes fast. I know the msconfig method, but 1 time it crashed my comp (I had to format it)!!!!

 

for me the msconfig is the best way to it

but if u insist , go for 3rd party s/w like
system mechanic or tuneup utilities

 

USE SYSTEM MECHANIC.
Download it from iolo.com
Its great.

 

msconfig is best u can also go with xpmanager........

 

or freeware winpatrol or ccleaner...

 

Check out this software which works fine for me :- http://www.topshareware.com/XP-Startup-Cleaner-download-39000.htm

I also use TuneUp utilities 2006. It gives option to disable the startup entry as well as delete it with a lil info ab out the entry.

 

If you know Windows System very well try the 'msconfig' method. There are lots of
software available like System Mechanic, XP Tuning Suite, Tweak XP Pro. I suggest
Tweak XP Pro. Get it from here:

There is also a Windws XP 15 mins tune-up guide:

Msconfig is great with one exception: In 2k/XP, it pops up a confirmation message on restart... The problem is that if you happen to login next time with non-admin user, the popup will continue everytime...

In AutoPatcher, there is a tool installed called Startup control panel... This will be available in the Control Panel. Try it out... It is very easy to use...

Also, many people advise against modifying services settings through msconfig... Dont remember why exactly... For that, use services.msc command at run...
