How to Configure Your System Startup
Start the TuneUp StartUp Manager module by going to the Start Center in the Optimize system category
and selecting Disable startup programs in the Reduce system load area.
Alternatively, you can start the module by going to Overview of all functions in the Start Center and select-
ing the Disable startup programs entry under Installed programs.
Before the program starts, the startup screen may appear for the Rating function for programs.
Here you can decide whether to enable this feature and click OK (read more about this under How
to Turn On the Rating Function, p. 145).
When TuneUp StartUp Manager starts up a list of all Startup programs opens. When you use the module
for the first time, all entries are enabled. This means that these programs will automatically start in the back-
ground every time the system is started.
In TuneUp StartUp Manager you can choose from the following functions:
Disabling Automatic Program Startup
This prevents the program from starting automatically in the background when you next start up the sys-
tem.The entry remains in the list however, meaning that you can turn automatic startup back on at any
time.
1. Select a startup program from the list.
2. Disable it using the button or from the toolbar.
If, despite our Tips for Optimizing System Startup, p. 36 you are not sure whether or not you should disable
startup, we recommend that you disable one startup program only, restart your computer and start the pro-
grams you use in the usual way. This helps you find out whether the automatic startup really is unnecessary.
If something doesn't work properly the next time you start Windows, select the check box again. If every-
thing is working as it should, you can disable the next startup program.
Enabling Automatic Program Startup
This starts the program automatically in the background when you next start the system.Afterwards, you
can disable automatic startup at any time again.
1. Select a startup entry from the list.
2. Disable it using the button or from the toolbar.
