Disable Startup Items in Windows

A simple command msconfig starts a small utility program of windows which helps control the start up most of all the startup programs...

Steps:
  1. Simple type msconfig in run and press enter.
  2. Click on startup tab
  3. Check/uncheck the program names from the list that we want to start at the startup.
*Note:
  • From here we can stop almost all virus file execution at startup.
  • It does not stops the debugger program which has been release as virus late 2009. A small worm tricked and starts itself as a debugger of explorer.exe. And removing that virus would halts loading of explorer.exe program making windows fail to login.
