Default My pc has started to slow down on startup - too many programs loaded

(and some removed incompletely) that even going into msconfig (for me) and unchecking some apps on the startup tab did not help. I read about this app in PCWorld and thought I would try it as it was free for 30days.

Wow - what a difference. Very simple and powerful. Will probably pay for it now.

Default ccleaner + startupcpl = just as good, and free to boot

if its only this simple thing then you need to use anything. Brain can help you if you have..

Run> type "msconfig" >start-up tab> un-click all the programs which are unwanted during the start-up.

You are done
