Easy! Assuming you're using XP,
Click Start>Run
Type msconfig

Go to the startup tab, disable anything you don't want to start on first boot...
I hope this helps.

Answer 2

You won't recognize most of the stuff in msconfig. Just uncheck everything. You don't need any of that stuff for Windows to run clean. And drag all the stuff out of the startup menu in the program menu to someplace safe. If anything you need stops working right, you can recheck the item in msconfig, or drag the item back into the startup folder in the Program menu.
