Start -> run -> msconfig -> startup -> uncheck the programs you don't want -> apply -> ok -> restart

A few ways....anything in your "Startup" folder will run when the computer goes into windows. You can take some crap out of there but it won't get rid of it all.

When the computer starts you can hold Control + Shift right after you see the Win 98 logo and that will stop the programs from opening.

or....the best way probably is go to to start>run and type "msconfig" (no quotes), then click the "startup" tab and uncheck what you don't want to start.

Hope this helps.
