I used to have a free program that prevented programs attaching themselves to startup
without permission.
Have lost it and can't remember the name.
Can anybody help please. Thanks in anticipation Mike

I like Tune up utilities personally, although I know you can go start - > run and type in msconfig then select the start up tab to see what is being started automatically.
Tune up is a very userfriendly application that helps you do it all with a good user interface. It does cost money, but isn't prohibitive.

1. To prevent programs from ‘attaching themselves’ (your words) to the start up process, you will have to look at the Options/Preferences of those programs, or for malware.
2. However, if you mean “How do I reduce the number of programs that run at start up“, Quick Startup is the best free program and it’s easier than Microsoft’s msconfig.
It runs all operating systems, get it here http://www.glarysoft.com/qs.html?tag=download Click on (highlight) an entry, then in the left pane choose Disable or Delete. If you are unsure about an entry and want to know more about it before disabling or deleting it, highlight it and then click ‘More information’ at the bottom of the screen.
If you want to add programs to the start up process, be careful if you‘re running a 64-bit system. It’s best to add new programs to the Start Up folders as there are two sets of ‘Run’ keys in the 64-bit versions.

Hi,
I wonder if you're looking for this free software......Disablestartup.com. Type into Google and go to site and download.
