            Ok first things first get rid of all your sh!tty ccCleaners etc total rubbish! Definitely not needed 2nd ensure in future when installing programmes to do a custom/advanced install then you dictate wether shortcuts or quick launch etc are installed. Finally if you don't have run feature turned on go to start then in the search box type msconfig then go to startup and then you can uncheck all the boxes for messnger and the other programmes you dont want starting. apply and ok that do a restart tick the box to say "don't show me again. and your good to go.
 With seven posts to your name, forgive me if we take your advice with a pinch of salt. Why is CCleaner 'sh1tty'? I find it user friendly and efficient.Declutterbug-in-progress.⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️0
