Be careful: remember what settings you changed, so you can change them back in the event of problems.

This is just a start. You may be able to disable all startup programs, (except Firewall, Anti-Virus, anti-spyware, etc. because they are critical) If you encounter problems, re-enable. It's by trial and error.

That's all I can tell you.

Installing software is a lot like giving out keys to your home. Unless you can work out and enforce some house rules, programs will move in and make themselves comfortable, leave dirty laundry and other messes all over the house for you to clean up, raid the refrigerator, sit in your favorite chair, argue among thenselves for control of the TV remote, invite their friends over, and tie up the phone. Those are the good programs - malware is much worse.
