1. Click the Start Menu Orb then in the search box Type msconfig and Press Enter or Click the msconfig.exe program link.
2. From the System Configuration, Click Startup tab and then Uncheck the program boxes that you would like to prevent from starting when Windows starts. Click OK to save changes when you are done.
