"CAUTION USE AT YOUR OWN RISK"

If you really want to...
Goto synaptic and Search for BUM this is a "Bootup Manager"
This gives you a Windows like "Services" control panel, you can stop/start many things.
Also
Open a terminal:
Code: [Select]
sudo sed -i 's/NoDisplay=true/NoDisplay=false/g' /etc/xdg/autostart/*.desktop
This will expose more things in "Session and Startup" items

If you're running Xfce:
Go to Menu > Settings > Session and Startup
There you can remove them else uncheck them. When unchecked, they will not startup either.

Hi every body,
I noticed like ubuntu base ( debian), some programs ( services ) run at the start up,  while they are not used by the majority of the users:
for example   samba or virtual box or  sane , in my case I always removed them. 
I don't understand they are always started.


by the way how to remove them definitely
best regards
