Programs Running in the Background!

[leroytrolley]

Hi Guys.

I've noticed reduction in the speed that my laptop is running lately.

What is the best way to show you guys what programs are running in the background on my machine. Is it easier juts to do a print screen of my windows task manager, or is there another way?

I need to know what half the programs runing actually are!!!

Try installing Startup Inspector for Windows (freeware)

http://www.windowsstartup.com/startupinspector.php

Then run it, click Consult and it'll tell you what everything autostarted is - so you can disable things if you wish.

if you have any questions - post a screenshot of what it shows :)

Several of us on here will vouch for this program. I am now only running eleven programs on start up as against thirty seven before. Any program that I want to use will start up on demand within seconds. My computer will boot up in a few second over one and a half minutes, which suits me fine.
