How to Configure Your System Startup
Launch the TuneUp StartUp Manager module by going to the Optimize system category in the Start Center
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 selecting
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 (for more information about this, see How
to Turn On the Rating Function, p. 152).
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 background 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 system.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. 48, you are not sure whether or not you should disable
startup programs, we recommend that you disable one startup program only, restart your computer and start the
programs 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 everything is
working as it should, you can disable the next startup program.
