Some programs like MSN Messenger are deliberately hidden and cannot be removed from your system using the Add/Remove menu. To flush out these hidden components, navigate to C:\WINDOWS\inf and copy the file Sysoc.inf as a backup. Double-click the Sysoc.inf file to open Notepad, then Press Ctrl-H and replace instances of ,hide, with , , and save the file. Hidden components should now be visible for removal.

Sometimes its made us so irritating when we found so many unnecessary programs run in the memory without our notice. These are the  programs like firewalls and anti-virus software are set to launch at Start-up by default, but things like media players and rarely used applications don’t need to be running all the time, much less when your system first wakes up. To keep your system from slowing down and wasting precious clock speed Launch the System Configuration Utility and disable the problem apps.

Click <Start>, <Run>, and then type “msconfig”. Select the Start-up tab and go down unchecking boxes to disable the programs, but leave the Services tab alone—horsing around here could cripple your setup.
