    2. 

  2. In the Open box, type msconfig, and then click OK.
    3. 

  3. Click the Startup tab.
    4. 

  4. Click to clear the check box beside any desktop entries in the Startup Item column that are listed as Common Startupin the Location column, and are also located in any of the following locations (as indicated in the Command column):

    • drive:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu
      • 

    

    5. 

  5. Click OK to quit the System Configuration Utility.

PROS The device is superb in terms of looks. It's very thin compared to the competitors from Dell. Equivalent Dell models are bulkier than this. It's got a 15.6-inch HD BrightView LED Backlit screen with a resolution of 1366x768 pixels. The display is very vibrant and looks fantastic in Performance mode. Sound quality is exceptionally good. The speakers use DTS+ technology and  are provided as a single row just in front of the keyboard. It's loud and the sound is crystal clear. The 4th Gen. core i5 is a silent performer. It produces minimum heat even on prolonged usage. You don't have to worry about the lower bound clock frequency. It's got turbo boost and locks into higher frequencies when situation demands. The boot is lighting fast. It boo
