To manage your startup programs, use

or

also see = Autoruns = http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/Autoruns.html =
This utility, which has the most comprehensive knowledge of auto-starting locations of any startup monitor, shows you what programs are configured to run during system bootup or login, and shows you the entries in the order Windows processes them. These programs include ones in your startup folder, Run, RunOnce, and other Registry keys. You can configure Autoruns to show other locations, including Explorer shell extensions, toolbars, browser helper objects, Winlogon notifications, auto-start services, and much more. Autoruns goes way beyond the MSConfig utility bundled with Windows Me and XP.
Autoruns' Hide Signed Microsoft Entries option helps you to zoom in on third-party auto-starting images that have been added to your system and it has support for looking at the auto-starting images configured for other accounts configured on a system. Also included in the download package is a command-line equivalent that can output in CSV format, Autorunsc.
You'll probably be surprised at how many executables are launched automatically!
Autoruns works on all versions of Windows including Windows XP 64-bit Edition (for x64) and Windows Server 2003 64-bit Edition (for x64).

Follow those instructions. You should know that you this may disable any automated virus scanner you have. If you want to leave it turned on then make sure it is checked under the services tab. There may be more than one check box. Cheers
Also if this causes your computer to stop working (like it did to my laptop) just boot in safe mode (hold f8 while it's turning on) and reverse the process.

LOL..You don;t need any 3rd party Software programs to monitor this..Hit the Start button, then select Run, then type 'msconfig'....There is a tab for startup...everything should be prety self-explanitory

I recommend the use of the Windows startup manager http://www.neosoft-tools.com/windows-startup-manager.htm
It disables any startup programs and fully controls startup by selecting the programs to be launched, while customizing the startup settings (ie how often and when programs should be launched, etc).

When the programs start, go to their Preferences and turn off the option to "Run on Startup".

Go to START (the one that pops up when you click at the bottom left of your screen)
click SETTINGS
click TASKBAR AND START MENU
you can check or uncheck items to begin at startup.
