My Computer is slow to boot
November 5, 2007
If you find your computer booting very slow one of the best thing you can do is remove startup programs and prevent them from starting during boot up.
Go to Start > Run > Type “msconfig” , if you are on Vista click Start and just type in “msconfig” in the search field and hit enter. Go to the Startup and choose which programs you would like to remove from startup, you could ever disable all programs by selecting the “Disable all” button at the bottom. It’s usually pretty safe to disable all programs although I would keep the security programs on such as anti-virus and anti-spyware . Click “OK” when done. You can always go back and change it again if there is a program you need at start up.
