This is normally a setting in the BIOS. Look for a message right after you turn on your PC, saying something like "Press F10 for setup".\n\nOr, you can create a small script and put it in your startup folder. See http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=314879

Go to "start", then "run".\nType in "msconfig".\n\nGo to the "startup" tab.\nUncheck anything you don't want to start when you start your computer.\n\nBe careful.  Unchecking AIM or Yahoo IM is one thing.  Many things in that list need to run at startup for Window's to run.

Make sure your num lock is on...hold down the ALT button and type the numbers 0241 on your number pad\n\nñ\n\nEDIT:  Only shorter way would be to do it once and then copy and paste it each time.  Alt+v to quickly paste

Assuming Windows XP....\nStart button / Run / type in "msconfig" (without the quotes)\nGo to the Startup tab of the window that opens\nUncheck anything that you do not want to start when the computer is turned on. (If you change your mind, you can come back and recheck them)

Start the system configuration utility by typing (windows key)->"R" and the entering "msconfig" as the program to run.  Under the "Startup" tab, you can disable programs that you don't want to start automatically when Windows boots up.

There should be a key at the top that says "NUM". Hit that button to unlock/lock the key pad. There's usually a light on your keyboard that indicates whether your keypad is either locked or not. If the light is on, then the number lock is on.

The best place to start is msconfig, a Windows utility that helps you control your startup programs.\n\nClick Start>Run and type (without quotes) "msconfig" and hit enter/click ok.\n\nClick the Startup tab and you'll see everything that's set to start with your computer.  Uncheck anything you don't need.\n\nIf you're not sure, just try unchecking it and you'll know if something is missing.  It's really easy to run msconfig again and re-enable it.  You won't damage your system by unchecking stuff this way.\n\nEDIT:\nh4x0r_247 is a moron.  A running program can also mean a service or process, one that run completely independent of the user.  Try to argue that a Windows system is not a program by definition and see how far you get.
