Programs That Start Up With Your Pc

[wolfway]

hello all,

When i boot my pc and i'm at the windows screen, in the right-under bottom you can see which programs are active. but there's a lot of programs that i don't want to be loaded with the start up (since i barely use them). i got programs like the one to watch TV on my pc through my tv card (pinnacle media center), or winamp agent, or PCTV remote (i don't even know what it is), quicktime, etc...

how can you make them not load on startup? i found this thing in the configuration screen (i hope that's the name in english because i have a dutch version). then i go to startup (perhaps it's called boot in english?) and there the part "HKLM run". the description there is: run these programs from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (all users) Run registry key. and then a list with programs and i think it's the list from the right bottom corner. and you can choose to click them or not.

is this what i'm looking for? or is this somoething different?
will my pc load faster if i delete some programs from that list? (leaving only my firewall, virus scanner, ...)

I got a program thats called "Windows Start Up Cleaner"
I had a problem with a program that kept trying to intall itself when i would start my computer.
This program gives a list of all kinds of shit that starts up on your computer...And you can delete the ones you dont want to start i guess. But i dont know if it delets them for good but it solved my problem real good.

I think the programm you're referring to rather removes or add's (depending on what you do with it) registry entries that make certain software start during boot. I don't think it actually removes the software itself from your HD.

anybody knows what the "winamp agent" is? is this just winamp? i chose not to load it, and i don't notice anything different?

winamp agents is good (well i use it), an icon is loaded near the clock when you start windows, when you click it winamp will open


as for progs that run at startup: for cleaning them i use regedit
