Where do the programs that start with Windows and the icons next to the clock come from? We show where Windows stores its startup list, why hiding a tray icon is not the same as turning a program off, and how to clean up startup step by step with the free Startup Tool For Windows – with screenshots.
The second part of the Startup Tool For Windows help: when the Block, Unblock and Delete buttons are active, how blocking differs from deleting, how the program works together with Task Manager, and why an app startup task cannot be deleted.
