Windows Takes Too Long to Boot
By Lincoln Spector, pcworld.com Apr 16, 2012 8:19 pm
Jmdraft complained to the PCWorld.com Utilities forum that Windows boots too slowly and needs to be cleaned out.
I'm guessing that your computer has too many autoloaders--programs that load automatically every time you boot. This is a common problem. Most PCs leave the factory with too many autoloaders, and gain more as you install new programs.
Slowing the boot process is only one of the problems that autoloaders can cause. They can also slow Windows while you're using it, and possibly make it less stable.
I'm not talking about programs that you don't want on your computer--a whole other issue. I'm talking about programs that you want and use, but don't need running at all times.
For instance, I have Sandboxie installed. I use it occasionally, and definitely want it when I need it. But I see no reason to have it running when I don't want it. So I turned off the autoloader.
