Stopping things from running during start up
Recently I've been getting like 1,000 programs opening during start up.

I want to control what runs on start up, but can't find any way to access the shit for some reason. One thing told me to go to windows defender, which i literally had to search to find on my computer as it doesnt come up in the programs list. Then I found it, and it doesnt have any link that it mentioned I should go to in the program.

I am using an HP with Windows 7.

Any help would be much appreciated, as I have like 8 - 10 programs that just start up and run and not to mention the inconvenience, but it slows the comp. down right from start up. Thanks guys

Run --> msconfig

The Startup and Tools tab are where you go to disable the programs you don't want to start up.

Services and Startup more precisely. On the Services tab check the "Hide all microsoft programs" and it will give you a list of things that are usually safe to turn off.

Well, his post prompted me to consider msconfig, where I would have previously ignored it.
