use Winxp manager, so powerful!

This one sounds fishy. It may be a great program but the other suggestions of msconfig and Autoruns are more than enough.

Msconfig is included with all versions of windows XP and is good for the purpose. Click on the start menu, find the option "Run..", and type in msconfig. It includes several tab for most of what you need.

As stated before MsConfig is probably the best way to do this. Sometimes however it doesn't work (I don't know the exact reason but it seems to miss some files). To fix this problem you should start up Windows in safe mode (press F8 at startup) then try MsConfig again. If the service continues to startup then try RegSeeker (it is freeware). For some programs if you delete the Startup entry rather then just disabling it then the program doesn't startup anymore (I’m not exactly sure why simply disabling a program doesn't always work). If the program continues to run, head on over here and be the first on your block to use Linux.

As always, while using MsConfig or RegSeeker, be careful not to turn off necessary programs as they might make your system unstable.

Hope this Helps,
Sparkx

Sure go start and go to run and type in "msconfig" without the quotes and go to startup and unclick the programs you don't care for i do it all the time cause when you install a program it adds crap to start up you don't even need i hate that.
