Start Ups

In business, a new company is called a Start Up. This designation can mean a newbie enterprise, or a swaggering upstart.

 

In Windows, Start Up means controlling what opens on the Desktop when you turn on your computer. Anything on the Desktop gets your attention... constantly.

 

Many computer software and entertainment companies target users by installing programs on the Desktop.

 

These programs are marketed as Helper programs: alerts, updates, downloads.

 

You can decide which programs you want to run every time you turn on your computer. This section illustrates how to locate the tools and manage the Start Up.
