    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
