Answer 1

To help you decide if you want to keep a particular startup application, go into msconfig and untick one at a time.  If it's essential, when you go back in to msconfig, another ticked copy will be there, but before you start it's a good idea to keep a note of which applications were ticked in case you want to restore your original settings.

A lot of startup programs just check to see if there are any newer versions of applications like iTunes, Quick time or Real player available.  These can be unticked because when you open the application it often checks for updates automatically anyway.

It looks as though you've got a pretty hefty computer, so if you've got serious delays at startup, I suspect it is more likely to be because your anti-virus and/or spyware are set to check for updates or run a scan at startup.  Check the setup and scheduled tasks of each carefully and change as necessary.

Only you know what start up programs you will need!

Another way to stop up sstart up is disabling all splash screens!

You will need to go into each program to disable!

Regarding MS config, this does not give very detailed information regarding programs and weather they are an essential part of the PC and should not be disabled, and i use "Tuneup Utilities" which is the best program to mange start up programs, and running processing and tweaking and much more very easily, but is not free but not dear/;)

4.Open My Computer

5.click Start, Run ipconfig renew (type ipconfig space renew)

6.Restart. Right-click on Taskbar, click Toolbars, select Quick Launch to restore

All these things should be done regularly. The more frequently they are run, the less time they take.

-Note: Games and videos are mostly graphics. Graphics create large files. If these suggestions don't help, you might need more memory.

Last, if you haven't cleaned your registry in a while. This is necessary. Your registry holds all the information regarding updates, installs, un-installs etc. Each one of those events produces a key. That key needs your PC's resources and free space. So, if you clean your registry, you make more resources available for speed. Do a registry scan if you got more than 20 errors you should clean it.
