REMOVE THE UNWANTED program at start up

[abd_bela]

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

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.

"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:

sudo sed -i 's/NoDisplay=true/NoDisplay=false/g' /etc/xdg/autostart/*.desktop

This will expose more things in "Session and Startup" items
