It appears that every supplier of Windows programs now adds their program
into Start-up so that their program is running all the time your using your
PC. I've recently been removing some of these programs as the PC was taking
longer and longer to boot up.
I can't see the reason, as am example, for having Office running all the
time, if I want one of the programs in Office it starts very quick from
'cold'. Also Live Messenger, if I don't use messaging does it need to run all
the time? What I am confused about is that I see
CWindows\system32\ctfmon.exe in there, I can't see that this is needed to
start Windows as I assume it must be running before it gets to here? I
realise that my anti-virus must be in start-up but is there anything else
that I really need in there?
Thanks for any suggestions.
