College v2 reminded me today about the wonders of msconfig. This nice little feature lets you kill all of those unnecessary startup programs that launch at boot up on your pc. I had forgotten about this function and Adobe startup files were making me crazy.

msconfig

To quick your start time follow this process:

Click on Start —> Run.

In the field type “msconfig”. A dialog box will pop up and one of the tabs is “Start up”. Here you can uncheck and remove programs that run automatically when windows starts.
