Quick question

What program do you use to edit the programs your computer runs when it starts up? I've been asking around because I've forgotten its name and can't remember it but so far noone knows.

 

I personally recommend Sysinternals Autoruns.

Windows xp open up control panel and follow instructions in plodr post.
Windows vista/7 click on start then type in msconfig and then click startup tab

That's the way I do it.

 

If you have CCleaner installed, you can use Tools | Startup.

 

Autoruns is an excellent startup control program, but I only recommend it to expert level users.
