Question

how can i choose which items i want on my start up menu 'the little icons next to the time' im not sure its called start up menu, 'they take a long! time to load when i first turn on my computer'

Otiss · Answer

go here and download CCleaner

then after you install, run it and go to its options then startup, at the startup window locate the apps you don't want to start normally and delete their entry.

make sure you know what you are doing, if you have any questions ask us first, some of those apps need to run when you first start ;)

ok these are the items i have, kodak easy share, limewire, quick time,exif launcher 2 'which i have no idea what that even is'  and HP digital imaging monitor and one more question this doesn't completely delete the programs right ?

One more thing about the ccleaner  link, I just got on and I'm not exactly sure what I need to click on to download, please be patient not the sharpest claw on the kittens paw when it comes to computers:smileysad:

Otiss · Answer

not sure what you mean just click on teh "download' and download and install it.

once you have downloaded it let me kno.

removing apps from startup entry will just stop them from starting with windows, it will not remove the app ;)

you can remove all the apps you named with the exception of HP digital imaging monitor I'm not familiar with that app so I don't know if you need to run that or not ;)

Let me start by saying thank you so much for being so patient with me I try to joke around with the other's but  I think I end up some how offend them and they don't get back to me :smileysad: but any who I clicked on download stable, I just  didn't know the dif between download stable and download beta, took a chance and got it right:smileyhappy:

ok i must tell you im a little bit nervous about using this program im pretty well known for deleting things i shouldn't, so to me  this looks like fun, which must mean i should ask before i continue

Otiss · Answer

well when it comes to startup section or registry stuff you don't want to delete anything there you don't know about.   however  the 'cleaner' part of it is safe to play with ;)

I am so sorry to bother, again, I tried using the ccleaner forum but couldn't find where to post, so my final question is under the registry part of the cleaner I see I have the option to fix issues 'I noticed some some issues were due to my past deleting ways' but as I click fix selected issues a window pops up saying'do you want to back up changes to the registry' I just need to know what to do here I was a lil scared to continue with out help

Otiss · Answer

Well some people have used ccleaner's registry cleaner with no problems and some people has horrible problems.

I myself have had no problems.

as for backing up, anytime you want to make changes to the registry always make a backup first, if you messup the registry then you could be looking at a reinstall ;)
