Startup Programs...

Could anyone please advise me on which startup programs I am safe to disable. I have included a screenshot from TuneUp Utilities Startup Manager...



The ones I have unticked I think myself are safe to disable. Its the others I am not too sure of. It reccomends I disable Intel Common User Interface Module. It says its a serious security threat as you can read in the screenie.

I just want as little junk loading up at the start as possible. I was lucky with this PC however, as it came without all the usual junk they bundle! No Norton, No AOL, etc.

 

Try this little program.

Thanks for the program you recomended yukon98, It took away 3 I was unsure of. Thanks also Halo again fore some good advice. I got that list down to 4 programs now at startup

Happy days

 

Definitely remove the Dell media experience it slows kit down no end.

Do you need the Windows sidebar?

For the other I agree with Halo, unless you spend lots of time changing your settings why have a tsr wasting resources in the system tray?

If you want to stop the security centre nagging every time you install a new program try this

start>controlpanel (classic view)
select security centre
select change the way security centre alerts me
select don't notify me and don't display....


If you have trouble with running several apps at once on the broadband post again there is a known Vista bug here with some routers.

Studio T

 

I have got it down to this:-



Using my head and the above program.The only thing there I am unsure about is the macrovision thing. I do want my fancy new sidebar btw.

Thanks for the tip BTW, will that stop that damned pop up every two mins, ARE YOU SURE!! Of course I am or else I wouldnt have clicked!!
