Start->run->msconfig
This will bring up a utility that allows you to choose what starts on boot and what requires manual start-up. As most of the programs that force your computer to load them on startup are written by sneaky cumbubbles, you might also want to download the crap cleaner

and it'll clean the traces left in your registry by the programmers to override your chosen settings and reset the program back to autoloading. Hope this helps.
