Edit The Startup Programs List

Many of the programs that start up at boot time do not show in the Startup folder. If you want to stop more than one application from loading at startup, you will need to go and unmark the preference in each application one by one.It is tedious and time consuming. Following hack can help you do this in one go.
Navigate to the following registry settings
HLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
And to:
HCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
All the programs that load at boot time will be specified under these two keys. Review the applications listed in this list anddelete all the entries you dont want started up at boot time. Next window start or logoff , they will be gone.
In most cases, it is safe to delete all setting in that registry setting but you have to be careful. If you don't know about associated application donot delet it. And don't forget to backup your settings.
