I get so fed up with stuff that programmers think I want to run every time I boot my computer. Well I'm not the only one

has an awesome program that allows you to turn these things on or off so they don't startup unless YOU want them to. I've cached a local copy of the program here but use the above link if you want to make sure you get the most current version.
