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 ?

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 ;)  

next time ask ;) save you time and possibility of one more thing going wrong.

ok so you got it all sorted  

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

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 ;)

COOL!!!!!!!!!thanks a bunch:smileyvery-happy:
