Tidy up your Startup Menu

When your computer starts, it loads lots of applications and services. Some of these applications are actually listed in the Start Menu’s Programs list! To find them and delete them, follow these instructions:

1. Click Start and go to ‘All Programs’.
2. Go to the folder named ‘Startup’.
3. In here you will see a list of applications. Work out which ones you want to delete.
4. Right click the one you want to delete, and then click ‘Delete’.
5. If asked to confirm, click Yes.
6. Now go back and do it for the rest of the unwanted startup applications.

The deleted items will end up in your recycle bin, so if you accidentally deleted something you need you can restore it from there.
