I have an impressive bank of knowledge and experience. Unfortunately, I've lost the combination to this bank.
Start>Run
Type msconfig and press return/enter
There is a 'startup' tab
Press 'Disable All' and then OK
You will be prompted to restart - do this and then you will get an alert. Tell the alert not to show again and voila!
Anything that really needs to start will soon add a new entry (e.g. anti-virus programs).
You can do as TOW says or you can use something like Autoruns. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/s.../bb963902.aspx
