Quick overview:
Officeanwendungen, Treiber, Virenscanner, Downloadmanager oder lästige Hilfsprogramme. Sie alle haben eins gemeinsam: Die Einnistung in den Autostart. Sie laden sich also bei jedem Hochfahren von Windows automatisch, was zum einen den Systemstart erheblich verzögert und zum anderen die Leistungsreserven in den Keller drücken kann.
Ein Virenscanner verbraucht meist soviel Ressourcen, dass ein vernünftiges Arbeiten kaum mehr möglich ist. Auch viele Probleme ergeben sich aus dem vielen Laden der Programme, weshalb es sich empfiehlt das System von allem unnötigen Autostartballast zu befreien. Und so gehen Sie vor:
1. Click on Start/Run and type msconfig in the command line.
2. Now switch to the Autostart tab and uncheck all unimportant programs that you do not need at system startup. Most of the programs can then be loaded individually later, so that your system always remains clean and fast.
3. After the required restart (if you have clicked OK), you will notice that your system is ready to work more quickly and that Windows is much faster and more stable. However, I strongly recommend that you leave the ScanRegistry entry activated, as this reduces and optimizes the Windows registry data bank.
Important note: In many cases, not even msconfig can detect all autostart entries, which is why they cannot be removed. I therefore advise you to search the registry for programs that start automatically! You can then also remove stubborn, hidden entries such as the Audigy 2 sound card welcome video, dialers, viruses or other embedded tools, which not only helps to speed up system startup and free up resources, but can also ensure system security.

Da Windows 2000 über kein msconfig verfügt, bot ich nur die Methode über die Registrierung an, die ich nun für Windows Me sowie alle anderen Betriebssysteme zusätzlich empfehle.
