Go to start, select run, and type msconfig and press enter. Control tab to the startup page, and from there you can turn on or off the startup items. After clicking OK, reboot where necessary. Hope that helps.

Hi Alexander, What I normally do is you go to "run," and then type in msconfig. Then you're in a sort of dialogue with tabs. You then move to the "Sellective startup" tab, and it's there where you'll find a list of processes and things which you can uncheck. Sorry, I know I'm not giving great instructions, maybe someone else can explain this a bit better.
