Hey D-
I personally don't like Real Player but there are many places on the 'net that use it to play certain clips & such.
An alternative is the free "JetAudio" which can play most formats & isn't as obtrusive & pushy:

Also, for controlling your startups- try Mike Linn's excellent (& highly rated) "Startup Control Panel"- here:
