There are several programs that may start up when your Ubuntu computer starts. Many of these programs are not needed. You can turn these off by going to “System, Preferences and Startup Applications”. You can turn off some of these but first you must know which applications do not have to start up so I made a list.

1. AT SPI Registry Wrapper – The Gnome a11y infrastructure allows end user assistive technology (AT) programs such as screen readers to get rich information about an application’s UI state. In most cases it’s OK to disable it.
2. Bluetooth Manager – If your computer does not have Bluethooth or you don’t use it it is OK to turn it off.
3. Check for new hardware drivers – keep this enabled
4. Disk Notifications – keep this enabled
5. Evolution Alarm Notifier – I do not use Evolution for email so I do not need this. If you use Evolution and want to be notified about ne messages keep it enabled.
6. Gnome Keyring Daemon – I do not like this application to manage my passwords so I have it disabled.
7. Gnome Login Sound – I don’t like the login sound I turned it off.
8. Gnome Settings Daemon – Keep this enabled.
9. Gnome Settings Daemon Helper – I have no idea what this is but I have it disable with no ill effects.
10. Indicator applet – I have this disabled with no ill effects.
11. Network Manager – Keep enabled unless you don’t use the Internet or have a network.
12. PolicyKit Authentication Agent – keep enabled.
13. Power Manager – keep enabled.
14. Print Queue Applet – Keep enables unless you never print.
15. Remote Desktop – You may disable this if you have no plan to use remote desktop.
16. Screensaver – disable
17. Seahorse Daemon – keep enabled.
18. Update Notifier keep enabled.
19. User folders update – keep enabled
20. Visual Assistance – disable
21. Volume Control – Keep enabled.
