Edit Start up Programms

Edit The Startup Programs List
Many  of  the  programs  that  start  up  at  boot  time  do  not  figure in  the  Startup  folder.  If  you  want  to  stop  more  than  one  application  from  loading  at  bootup,  you  will  normally  need  to  go
and  turn  off  the  preference  in  each  application  one  by  one. Tedious and time consuming. This can help you do this in one go.

Navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
And to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

All the programs that load at boot time will be specified under these  two  keys.    Review  the  applications  listed  in  this  list  and delete all the entries you don't want started up at boot time. Next
bootup, they'll be gone.

Be careful not to delete needed programs such as anti-virus.
