    Theyre all program specific
    Not sure exactly but most of them you should be able to switch off within the settings of the programs themselves
    You cant use another program to switch them off
    :idea:

    the keyboard and bitcomet ones are easy to get rid of...just don't run the software :)

    ...many apps may have a 'display splash screen' option...turn this off

    As above, disable the splash screen.

    Also use MSCONFIG or ccleaner to sort out your startup items.
