The answer to this is detailed in the manual on the left.
In Windows 7: "Start", "All Programs", "Standard" look for and run the "Run" utility. In Windows XP: Start, Run. In the window that appears type in msconfig and click on "Ok".
A window will open where you go to the Auto Load tab. Look at the list, and unload all the programs you don't want to be autoloaded.
As you can see, my autoloading list is very modest. Once you remove everything you don't need (uncheck it), click "Apply" and "OK".
It happens that unnecessary programs may still be among the services. Therefore, in the window that we opened above, go to the tab "Services". Immediately check the box next to "Do not display Microsoft services". And uncheck unnecessary services. Click "Apply" and "Ok" to save the result.
A message will appear, you can exit without rebooting, or restart your computer.
Downloading files to your computer
So, what do we need to do to install the right program on the computer? First, we need to download its installation file, after which the program will be installed on the computer. To do this, you need to find a link to download the program and click on it.
Clicking on the download link in the browser should start the download process to your hard drive.
Some browsers may pop up a dialogue box asking you to save the file in a designated folder, then specify the folder and remember it.
In most browsers, a download bar should appear at the bottom of your browser when you download the file.
What if there is more than one link?
Even for one file, we try to give 2 links:
From sites of software developers. This ensures maximum relevance of files and that the program file is exactly as the developers intended.
From our site. This means greater safety (we check files with anti-viruses) and in many cases excellent download speed.
There are cases when there are different program versions for different operating systems.
In addition to the operating system version (Vista, XP, 8, 10) there is also the bit depth (32 or 64-bit).
To choose the right one in this case - you need to see what system you have.
This is easy to see by accessing your computer properties.
On Windows XP or Windows 7 you can do this by clicking on My Computer (right mouse button) → Properties.
On Windows 8 / 10 click on Start (right mouse button) → System.
File Types
Files in Windows take the form file name(point)File extension. If the extension is known to Windows, it is normally hidden and you can see it by opening the file properties.
To get started with the installation, we need to understand what we have downloaded. Programs on the internet are in the form of installation files, and it is likely that it is the installation file you have downloaded.
The downloaded file may have an EXE extension, an MSI extension, or one of the archive extensions such as RAR, ZIP, 7z (and very rarely others).
Let's look at EXE and MSI first, and then describe how to work with archives.
A downloaded file can be called by any name: setup.exe, icq8_setup.exe, aimp_3.10.1074.msi. The word "setup" or "install", or an abbreviation thereof, is often present in the name of an installation file, and translates to "install". However, they may not be in the name. In any case, when you save the file, you should make sure to note its name and location, so you can navigate to the folder to find it.
Installing programs.
Extensions *.EXE and *.MSI do not differ in terms of installation. Having downloaded such a file, all you need to do is run (by pressing Enter or double-clicking on the file) and start the installation. The installation process is normally a step-by-step wizard that will prompt you for various pieces of information. The Software Installation Wizard can be performed in a variety of ways, and may prompt you for different information. Sometimes at the start of the installation, it will prompt you to select either Normal or Advanced mode. Normal mode is, of course, the easiest and most suitable for beginners. And the advanced modes may offer more precise selection of program components, and other options for fine-tuning.
