For Windows XP, Vista and 7

To change the items running at startup, go to Run using the hotkey Windows key + R, and type “msconfig.”

A small window will appear (see the screenshot below), select the Startup tab.

msconfig

From here you will be able to turn off a range of startup programs, which can cut seconds (or minutes) off your boot time. (Note Windows 8 has moved this functionality to the Task Manager).

Try to make sure you research what you are turning off as some processes might be needed by third party programs or drivers you have installed. So don’t do this unless you know what you’re doing.
