A startup item is a program or service that starts automatically when a computer is turned on. Setting up the boot items can optimize the boot speed of your computer, improve system performance, and avoid unnecessary programs that take up system resources. The following is a detailed description of how to set up the boot startup item, including how to set it up manually and how to set it up with a software tool.
1. Manually set the boot startup items.
Use the key combination "win+r" to open the run dialog box, enter the "shell:startup" command, click "OK" or press "Enter". This will open the startup folder for shortcuts to programs that need to be booted up.
Copy the program shortcuts that need to be set to boot up to the startup folder. It can be done by finding the shortcut where the program is located, copying with "Ctrl+C", and then pasting with "Ctrl+V" in the startup folder.
If you need to disable a set boot item, you can use Task Manager. Press the "Ctrl+Shift+ESC" key combination to open the Task Manager, switch to the "Startup" tab, find the startup item you want to disable, right-click and select "Disable".
2. Use the system configuration tool to set the boot startup items.
Use the key combination "win+r" to open the run dialog box, enter the "msconfig" command, click "OK" or press "enter" to open the system configuration tool.
In the System Configuration Tool, switch to the Startup tab. This is a list of all startup items in the current system, both enabled and disabled.
To enable or disable a startup item, simply check or uncheck the box in front of it. If you want to add a new startup item, you can tap "Open Task Manager" and then do it in the startup tab of Task Manager.
After completing the startup settings, tap the "Apply" button and you will be prompted to restart your computer to apply the changes. Select Restart to save and apply the settings.
3. Use the Registry Editor to set up boot entries (for advanced users).
Type "regedit" in the search box in the Windows taskbar, and then tap "Registry Editor" to open the registry editor. Please note that modifying the registry requires caution, as the wrong modification can lead to system instability or other issues.
Navigate to the registry path "Hkey Current User Software\Microsoft Windows CurrentVersionUn". This is the launch path for the current user. If you want to set up system-level startup items, you can navigate to "hkey local machine software, Microsoft Windows CurrentVersionun".
In the right pane, you can see the startup items that have been set. To add a new launch, right-click on the blank space, select New, and then select String Value. Enter a new string value name (that is, the name of the launch item), and then double-click the string value to enter the full path to the program you want to start in the Numeric Data field.
When you're done adding, close the registry editor. Once the computer is restarted, the newly added startup items will run automatically. Similarly, if you want to delete a set startup item, simply find the corresponding string value in the registry and delete it.
4. Use a third-party software tool to set up boot items.
In addition to manually setting up and using the built-in system tools, there are also some third-party software tools that can be used to manage boot items. These tools often provide a more intuitive and convenient interface and functionality. For example, you can use the startup item management function in security software such as Kingsoft Antivirus and 360 Security Guard to set boot items. How to do this varies from software to software, but generally provides options to enable, disable, add, and remove startup items. Users can choose the right tool to set up according to their needs.
It should be noted that you should be cautious when setting the boot startup items to avoid accidentally deleting or changing the key boot items of the system and causing the system to fail to boot normally. At the same time, it is necessary to regularly clean up unnecessary boot items to keep the system clean and efficient.
In conclusion, it is important to set up the boot items properly to optimize the performance of the computer and improve the user experience. By mastering the manual setup and using software tools, users can easily manage their own boot items, making the computer run more efficiently and stably.
