Useful resource saving application. - UID=0 - 10-04-2009
Maybe some of you already know about this, but if not, it's a very useful little app to get!
It's called XP-AntiSpy and it gives you the option, to disable, quite a few unecessary programs/services that run automatically at system start up.
It also works for Vista as well, and there is a beta version available for Windows 7, which the author is saying he's waiting for feedback, for Windows 7 users, willing to test it.
You can find it here:

Nice little program there.

CCleaner does the same and also optimizes your computer

You can disable startup services under Control Panel > Administrative > Services. You just gotta be careful to not turn off something important.

if xp user, its a run command type "msconfig" and you can edit services startup etc. but do not turn on or off something that you are not fully aware of.

Vista: Windows Key -> Type msconfig & hit enter ;)

Msconfig is a great tool, or you can just go into the registry and do it manually

I personally use TuneUp Utilities.
It's the best in my opinion.
