MessageHi Johny, do the following:
1 applications key or control escape to open the start menu.
2. type r funtil you hear run. Press enter.
3. type msconfig and press enter.
4. shift tab to get onto the tabs. Arrow along till you hear startup tab.
Press the tab key to get onto the start up page.
5. Arrow down through the list. You can uncheck items with the spacebar.
6. tab down till you reach the ok or apply button and press enter.
7. you will get a message saying that you must restart your computer for the
changes to take effect. Press enter on ok to restart your computer.
8. when your computer reboots there will be a message to say you are in
selective start up. when Jaws starts you can use the jaws cursor to locate
the do not show this message or run selective start up check box. Use the
spacebar to check it and press enter on the ok button.
As for things running at startup and things you can remove, leave things
that are windows components, but apart from that, other than for anti virus
you can remove most other things. A rule of thumb is that if there's
something you're not sure about leave it.
best of luck,
John.

Hi Johny, as all these things are in the system tray they will be
running at start up. There are very few things you need to run at start up.
The more you burden your system at start up with unnecessary programs the
higher the demand on it and that will affect your system performance.
Obviously you'd leave anti virus on the start list, but other than for
that you can load programs when you need them.
Programs invariably by default set themselves to start with windows.
If you don't keep a check on it and remove things your system will suffer.
Try running msconfig. Go to the start up page and uncheck all but essential
items.
John.

Hi Robin
There's all sorts of things in there. I've got BT Broadband help,some
music stuff, wireless connection,volume controls, windows security , quick
set - whatever that is, and some other things I don't think I need in there.
Would these effect the way the computer is running? How can I remove them
from the system tray then?

Hi,
Firstly, thanks to Tris for that programme, I installed it last
night and it looks pretty user friendly once you see how it works.
Johnny, tell us what is listed in your sys tray, then some folks on
here might advise. Basically all you really need is your anti virus, your
internet or network connection and maybe jfw if you run it from there rather
than the task bar.
hth, Robin
