Quick Startup
Nobody would go to a party wearing the entire contents of their wardrobe, so why should you boot your PC while it's running dozens of different applications?

When Windows gets bogged down on startup, you can trim things down by running the msconfig.exe application. But a more flexible and user-friendly option is to use Quick Startup. This gives you a list of programs that load on startup, as well as details about whether they can be trusted.

Every program listed has an importance rating, so you have a better idea about whether to remove it. Check it out here.
