Re: Programs running at start up

XP - click start ~> click run ~> type "msconfig" (without quotation) then press enter
Vista - click start ~> in the start search type in "msconfig" (without quotation) then press enter

In the System Configuration window click on start up tabs so you can see all the applications at start up... you can enable or disable any of the applications
