Startup

Alkers · 2006-05-06 20:05:11

My windows instalation has become very slow to load - too many apps. on start up. What's the best way to prevent/remove processes on startup? Also, I have 69 processes running atm, using about 512 Ram, most of these must startup with windows - want to cut down on the non-essentials there also. What's the best way? Thanks
