In order to see what’s starting with the rest of your computer, go to Start–>Run and type msconfig in the prompt. When the new window opens, click on the “Startup” tab and uncheck any items that you don’t want starting with the rest of Windows. It will prompt you to restart and once you do, voila!, you no longer have those useless, memory wasting programs running in the background.
