Welcome Little Miss Techie from cold Canada

 

What are your system specifications?

 

Belarc Advisor is good to display that information:

Thank you so much, it is lovely to be welcomed to such a friendly and helpful forum.

We are about to come into our Winter soon also and I am not looking forward to it.

I just love the Summers here.

I did have 'Belarc Advisor' but thank you, it is a great little program to use.

I mainly use an external hard drive and numerous memory sticks, hence I have a lot of free space.

I have found using those, along with a regular maintenance program is what works best for my needs.

I do have dial up, but it is very quick and is as fast as most broadband in my area.

Not that broadband in the country/rural area is fast anyway........lol

 

I hope I have supplied all the info you require below.

[Advice needed on Programs on Start Up]

Hello,

 

I was just wondering if anyone could tell me something about programs on start up please.

I am very new using this program and so far so good.(fingers crossed)

 

When I ran the Startup option obviously it generated a list.(image below)

 

 

My question please is, can any of these entries be removed to make my startup faster?

Currently it seems to take a long time to do a startup from a cold reboot or even just a restart.

Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.

 

Many thanks.

 

Cheers and have a nice day

There is no shame in not knowing, the shame lies in not finding out.
