Windows Vista for Beginners

Streamline your Startup Applications & Improve Windows Performance

If a search on the internet doesn't help too much, then you should try the following web pages:
  • the How-To Geek - if you look carefully you will find directly on the homepage a section called 'What is that Process?'. There you will have several programs that might be running at startup on your computer.
  • Startup Programs Database - here you will find a huge list with possible startup items and a description of what they do and if they are safe or not.
  • TASK LIST PROGRAMS - here you will find another glossary similar to the Startup Programs Database.

If this doesn't help, there are lots of forums where you can ask people. Try to go for big forums where there are many knowledgeable people. I personally recommend forums such as: Ars Technica, Microsoft Answers, How-To Geek Forums, Windows Vista Help Forum, and even our own forum.
