Click START
Click RUN
Type msconfig
Click OK
Select STARTUP tab

Uncheck all boxes

Next time you start machine a dialog box will appear saying things have been changed

Download for free a program called 'Quick Startup' it will show you all the programs that start when you start your computer,all you do is select the ones that you don't need running all the time,it doesn't remove them it just stops them operating all the time.
