    I haven't tried that program and for $49.95, it's not worth it. There are other programs that can do it for free.

    Try WinPatrol: WinPatrol

    You can use this to edit your start-up entries (programs/processes that load up when you start Windows) and you can edit processes under the [bold]Active Tasks[/bold] and [bold]Services[/bold] tab.

    Here's an example of the services that are currently running/currently disable:

    Here's an example of my active tasks:

    Always research on processes/services before diasbling them. Disabling something that is critical, could cause Windows to crash.
