Easy way to Change Startup Programs in Windows 7


Using Programs and Databases to Identify Startup Items

Step 1

Remember that the removal of programs and various files can damage the performance of your system. Avoid automatic removal of programs until you know precisely which function or a component is responsible for something. It is worth noting that you need to create a recovery checkpoint by selecting the appropriate system recovery function.



It will allow you to roll back the system in case of specific problems with the software part. It is worth noting that some of the startup items have a particular name which is intuitive and can decrypt in terms of performing specific tasks. If some system processes or programs are hard to identify, it’s better to study the situation first and only then proceed with the removal.

Step 2

Use Google (News - Alert) to search online lists of programs that you can permanently delete. Perhaps these files and software that you do not need are critical to the health of the entire system. It may require a lot of time since each process will have to be disabled manually and individually. You have to choose the essential programs (like “Should I remove it?”) and filter out all unnecessary software.

Step 3

You can also use automatic startup cleanup items using third-party software. At the moment, the free market is full of hundreds or even thousands of software products. Each offer contains various components that help turn off an unnecessary startup item and improve the performance of your personal computer or laptop. If you want to secure your gadget and turn off unnecessary items at startup, programs such as the CCleaner or “Should I remove it” can help you.

Adding or Removing Files from the Startup Folder

Step 1

It’s simple to add or remove files. Click the “Start” icon, then “All Programs,” and search for the startup folder. Then check the “Open All Users” folder to open it. Her you can open the folder for you as a user. It’s a simple process. The main advantage of this method is that you do not need to use third-party software components for this action. All this can be done thanks to the capabilities of the operating system. It is worth noting that this method is suitable for any version of windows.

Step 2

Next, you need to create a shortcut that will be launched every time the operating system starts. It can be a separate program or a text document that will contain important information for you. The screenshot shows the correct sequence of actions that will help you make a shortcut.

Step 3

Drag or paste the icon into the Startup Folder. It will allow you to initiate autorun of the program or file the next time the system starts. This approach will simplify the automatic loading of software components and will enable you to solve more technical problems on your PC. You can choose absolutely any file or program.
