Know Which Apps to Remove From MSConfig with This Startup Applications List

Know Which Apps to Remove From MSConfig with This Startup Applications List 

One of the biggest slowdowns on a Windows computer is the barrage of applications that start up when you boot Windows. This application list will tell you which of those are safe to remove from msconfig.exe.

If no one in your family got a shiny new Windows PC for Christmas this year, they've already probably roped you in to do some maintenance on their computer, which probably involves heading into MSConfig.

Unfortunately, digging into MSConfig can be pretty daunting, even if you know your way around Windows.
This list of startup applications is a really handy resource for cleaning up msconfig entries that have overtaken old computers. It catalogs tons of different startup programs, what they do, and which ones you should delete, leave running, or decide based on the program's usefulness. It even has a nice search box so you can search through the tens of thousands of entries.
