Guest rn5a@rediffmail.com Posted August 13, 2007 Posted August 13, 2007 I work on WinXP Pro (80GB HDD, P4 2.8GHz, 512MB RAM, SP2). Whenever I login (using my username & password), I find that XP takes considerable time to proceed & display the desktop. I had a look at the list of processes in the Task Manager without explicitly starting any process/program & found that a few processes, which aren't required at start-up, were listed there. These processes are neither listed in Services under Computer Management (right-click My Computer--->Manage--->Services) nor are they listed in the Startup folder (Start--->Programs--->Startup). Some softwares (like Yahoo! IM, Window Blinds etc.) give users the option to load (or not load) their respective processes automatically when XP starts but the softwares related to the processes which start automatically when I login do not give this option. Under such circumstances, how do I prevent such processes from starting automatically when XP starts? Thanks.
