Computer Gurus: stopping automatic boots

[GA Russell]

I think I asked this before quite some time ago, and I have the problem again.

I believe that a large number of programs are automatically starting when I turn on my computer.

How can I see a list of every program which starts upon computer boot-up, and hopefully said list will allow me to uncheck the programs I don't want to start every time?

Thanks!

PS - I forgot to say that I am using Windows 7.

You have to go into the .bios file and edit this. I don't recall all the details off-hand, but a quick google search should give some instructions.

Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> System Configuration -> Startup tab

Thanks Jim! I'll have to wait to re-start, and see if that ends my problems.
