There are many ways through which you can keep your computer fit and in proper shape. But the most important way of keeping your system problem free is by using it properly.

1. Place your mouse over one of the small icons. Then right click on them and see if there is any option to delete or prevent it starting when Windows loads up. Do the same with other icons except the speaker icon.

2. After that right click on the start option at the left hand side of the screen and click on explore, look for a folder called programs just do a double click on this folder and then again double click on startup. Is there any shortcut in this folder that you don’t want while starting up every time and if you find anything unwanted then do a right click on it and the click on ‘delete’ option.

3. At last, to avoid obstinate or stubborn programs, you need to go into Windows System Information – click on Start menu, go to Programs, then Accessories and System Tools and finally click on System Information.

When the window gets opened, click Tools and then System Configuration. If you click on startup tab you can see the remaining programs that automatically load up when the system first starts. So now simply uncheck the box besides those things that you dont want to load up and then restart your computer.
