If you find your PC starts very slowly when you turn it on, it may be due to a number of applications (which you may or may not have asked for) starting at the same time.
Microsoft doesn't make it easy to check these items and add/delete as you require.
Here are three FREE methods of ensuring only those items start that you want to start ... which will speed up the starting of your PC:
1. msconfig - the Microsoft method Start -> Run > msconfig -> open the Startup folder and uncheck items
2. startup.exe - a standalone tool to list all items and allows you to de-select any
3. Advanced System Care - a useful collection of tools to optimize the running of your PC, including a startup analyzer.
As well as doing the above, you may need to open a stubborn application and turn off the option that allows it to start when Windows starts.
I realize some of the above may be more than you want to tackle ... give me a call if you want help.
