    What start up entries are really needed? Looking to start up computer as quick as possible, I have Windows XP.

    Depends on each system really.. we could recommend the very bog basics (kinda pointless) or you could post what entries you have and we can strip some. :)

    There is a guide here, poke through it and it will tell you what each service is for and then you can decide whether to disable it or not.

    Yeah if you post a HijackThis log we can tell you which start up entries are safe to disable. Would be your best bet.

    My God, thought I'd cut down on this stuff!

    It's not too bad, just patience trying!

    What is cidaemon.exe.? Always noticed that one.

    I installed Snoop free. Flashes if anything tries to access the screen.

    Don't really use Yahoo toolbar.

    GMail notifier is not essential to me.

    olmtr.exe is an online timer.

    Pop file was some kind of Spam program. With GMail don't think I need it. No work needed!

    Messenger and stardownloader would only be needed as I need them, hopefully not necessary on start up.

    Usefulware?:confused:

    Whats Narrator.exe.?

    Don't use EBay or very rare!

    Downloadv3.com, maybe something I downloaded?

    Hate MSN Toolbar!

    Scooby Doo might have been a desktop for the wee fella. Adblock disables it anyway so prob could be deleted.

    Very rare I use IE and U.tv. Installed a new dialler for U.TV so there could be entries there because of that that I could rid of.

    Close all windows except for HijackThis and click "Fix checked".


    cidaemon.exe is Microsoft Indexing Service and is definitely needed

    narrator.exe is related to Narrator_accessibility feature on Windows XP. It is used to convert text to speech. Should not be disabled, required for essential applications to work properly.

    Tell me how that goes and if you have any problems. Say how your PC is running also

    Cheers, My Documents is quicker to access.:D Was causing a problem

    But to start up is not noticeably quicker.Still quite slow!
