try msconfig (use run and type msconfig) in particular the startup section,
uncheck and programs you know for sure there that you don't want to load.

also check start-> all programs -> startup for stuff there as well.

Crazy

Go to the options or preferences of each program that auto starts, and look
for a checkbox or similar that will disable the feature.. this is the surest
way of disabling what you no longer want, while keeping those features that
you do want..
