Can I control which programs start when I log in from the Control Panel?

Yes, you can control which programs start when you log in from the Control Panel. Windows provides several ways to customize the programs that launch at startup.

The simplest way to control startup programs is to use the Startup folder in the Start menu. This folder contains shortcuts to any programs you want to open automatically each time you turn on or log in to your computer. To add a program to the Startup folder, open the folder and then drag a shortcut of the program from the All Apps list or from File Explorer.

Another way to control startup programs is to use the Task Manager. To open the Task Manager, press Ctrl + Shift + Esc, or right-click the taskbar and select Task Manager. To access the Startup tab in the Task Manager, click on the Startup tab. This tab displays a list of all the programs configured to run when you log in to Windows. To enable or disable a program, select it from the list and then click the Enable or Disable button at the bottom of the window.

You can also control startup programs using the System Configuration utility. To access this utility, open the Run dialog box (press Windows Key + R) and type “msconfig” into the box. In the System Configuration utility, select the “Startup” tab. Here you can see a list of all program entries configured to run when you log in to Windows. To enable or disable a program, select it from the list and then click the “Enable” or “Disable” button at the bottom of the window.

Finally, you can control startup programs using the Control Panel. To access the Control Panel, search for it in the Start menu or type “control panel” into the Run dialog box (Windows Key + R). In the Control Panel, select “Administrative Tools” and then open the System Configuration icon. This will open the same window as the System Configuration utility accessed earlier. Select the “Startup” tab to view a list of all program entries configured to run when you log in to Windows. To enable or disable a program, select it from the list and then click the “Enable” or “Disable” button at the bottom of the window.

You can use any of these methods to control which programs start when you log in from the Control Panel. With these tools, you can easily customize which programs launch automatically when you turn on or log in to your computer.
