What Donald said, One note, Make sure you make a note of what you UN-CHECK, that way if you have a conflict with a program starting, you will have the reference to it

*go to start then to run and type in msconfig

Next screen click on startup tab

at this point you can click on the boxes that you don't want to start up when your computer comes on but beware that you don't click off somethong that you need... in other words if you don't know what it is leave it alone.

You have to delete the entries for them in your registry, but if you don't know what you're doing you can ruin your computer. I'd recommend taking it to a professional.

If you have Windows 2000, you won't have a msconfig utility. If you need it, you can download it here:
