System Startup

by Maxxx247 Jun 17, 2006 1:54AM PDT

I am using WindowsXP which is great but lately I have notices that seems to take a while to boot-up when I turn it on. Your article on speeding up bbot time was great but I do have a question for you. I down loaded the program autoruns by sysinternals which is great, I click on the logon tab and I can see what I want to stop from starting up when I turn on my computer. The question that I have is should go though all the tabs and uncheck thinks that I don't want running can you advise on this matter.
