Manage Startup applications from Task Manager

[javajolt]

If you are a frequent Windows user you’ve probably gotten used to the frustration of finding programs that automatically add to your Startup folder, slowing down the boot process and consume system resources.
 
The new Windows 8 Task Manager has a Startup tab that consolidates most auto-start programs into a single, easy-to-find place. You can disable any item by selecting it from the list and clicking the Disable button at the bottom of the dialog box.
