Change Startup Programs in Windows

Whenever you start up, reboot, or log on to your windows computer, there are a few programs that also immediately start up. Maybe you want these programs to start-up, maybe you would like to add some programs to start up automatically, or maybe you want to remove some programs that have started up without your permission. You can control and customize these start up programs very easily and here is how you do it.
