Sometimes you may need to prevent your startup programs from loading when you log into your computer because they might be causing some type of problem. To do this, log into your computer like you normally do, the immediately hold down the Shift key before the Windows desktop can display. You have to be quick, or you could might miss your opportunity to do this.

Note: This operation will only prevent from programs in the Startup folder from loading, it will not prevent programs from loading that are specified in the registry.
