To control what starts with Windows:
Click Start and then Run. (Vista – Start>All Programs>Accessories>Run). In the run box, type "msconfig" without the quotes and then hit "Enter". This will open the System Configuration Utility. Click the "Startup" tab. Now remove the check mark from any and all programs that you do not want to start or "boot" with Windows. Now click apply and then click OK.
You will need to restart your system. When the system starts you will see a box stating that you used the Config. utility, put a check in "Don't show this box at startup".
That should do it.
Do not remove any check marks from your security software. You want it to load with your operating system.

1.press Start
2.Click RUN
3. Type msconfig in the box
4. In the last tab of strat-up programs disable all by unchecking the ticks besides them
5. Some programs run in the Services tab as well disable by doing the same for them( Caution: may contain some important services so be careful)
6. Get rid of programs by CTRL+ALT+DEL.
7. Enable Hibernate.. And Hibernate your system.
Next time you run you will be surprised how fast it will come up (If the OS is not Vista..hopefully which has limited disabling of startup items).
