Programs That Launch Automatically Windows XP/2000/ME/98 In yesterday's post I talked about programs that start up with the computer and use up system resources. The question will arise: how does one identify which programs are necessary, and which are not?
A lot of programs (such as Kazaa or Quick Time) needlessly configure themselves to start up automatically. It is essential that other programs, such as Anti-Virus or Firewall software, do start up whenever you turn on your computer.
To assist people in determining how to configure these programs, I offer this list of common items that start up with Windows.
