Restrict Startup Processes from Loading When Windows Start

Do you want a certain process not to load on startup? Then this tip is right for you.

Usually the reason why you don’t want this to run during Windows start is because you find it not important. Furthermore, this program(s) eats a lot of CPU bandwidth.

There are many ways to do this. You can use Registry Editor (regedit) or System Configuration Utility (msconfig) or even Services (services.msc). In this article we will use the System Configuration Utility to get rid of a certain program from running on startup. Below are the steps how:

1. Open System Configuration Utility by using RUN command and typing there msconfig.
   
2. In the Services and / or Startup tab, you can uncheck the programs / applications that you don’t need to be loaded during windows startup.

Just make sure that you don’t really need the program and it will not affect your entire system. Anyway, you can undo/revert the changes by opening msconfig again and check those needed programs.

that’s it.

Locking Folder Without Using Any Software

This is just a trick to make the characteristic of your folder locked. Not really "locked" but "like locked". What I mean that this is not really locking your folder instead it is just a trick that the status of your folder looks like it is locked because this cannot be opened easily. This is makes your folder inaccessible.
The trick is to make your folder become a special file by adding extensions on it. This makes your folder not accessible.

Here's the step how to lock your folder without having any software:

1. Create a new folder or if you if you have an existing folder already then you can use it.
2. Add this code right after your folder name

   .{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}

   For example: "FolderName.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" and you'll be amazed with the result if the this is your first time doing it. The icon of your folder should changed you did it right.
   

With this extension, double clicking your folder will redirect you not directly to the contents of the folder.

Note: To access your folder just remove the extension you've added earlier.

and that was Locking Folder Without Using Any Software
and that was Making you Folder Not Accessible for Some who don't know this.

That's it.
