Remove startup programs from system registry Ok i know i can use msconfig and windows defender to remove/disable startup programs. But some programs on a computer have a mind of there own and keep reinitialsing every time i restart my computer. The startup process of Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008 and their successors differs from the startup process part of previous versions of Windows. In this article, unless otherwise specified, what is said about 'Windows Vista' also applies to all later NT operating systems.
Back in the old days, there were a lot of places an application could hook itself to run at startup. You had to check the registry in more than one place, as well as your start menu. With Windows Vista, there’s a built-in panel that handles all that for you.
To quickly get to this panel, you can open Control Panel, and then type “startup” into the search box. The link for “Stop a program from running at startup” shows up immediately. You could have also opened Windows Defender and fooled around with the menus until you find the right spot, but this seems quicker to me.
Now you can see the Windows Defender screen that lets you manage the startup programs.
