    In Windows Defender there is an option to check and control the startup programs. If you have Windows Defender disabled, you can use CCleaner. Download CCleaner here:
    http://www.ccleaner.com/

    Then just use the Tools > Startup Options to disable any stuff you don't want auto-starting. Better to disable the startup entry rather than delete it if you are not sure what you are doing (you can always re-enable if you want).

    iirc iTunes has a load of background processes it runs at startup for syncing the ipod that can't be disabled without blowing up itunes.

    an idea might be to uninstall itunes, and create a separate windows profile and reinstall itunes to that profile alone for syncing?

    Sorry I am not very computer savvy, could you explain about setting up an extra profile? Would I be able to still use all the music I have loaded on itunes?
