Dean,
Will's advice will work fine, but it's easier to use Startup Control Panel
which you can download (very quickly) at http://www.mlin.net/
This gives a better view of startup items and lets you disable them or
completely delete them very easily. msconfig is really ddesigned for
diagnostic troubleshooting. Kelly's clever work around lets you use it to
also delete start up items, but takes more steps.
