Check out this page for info on how to disable startup items in Win95.
http://www.aumha.org/a/loadsz.htm
Info from the site mentioned below:
Under Windows 95 and 98 there are always a number of programs which load
every time the PC is started which run constantly "hidden" in the
background. These programs load via (a) shortcuts in the StartUp folder, (b)
values in the Registry Run keys and (c) references on the load= and run=
lines in the WIN.INI file.
Under Windows 95 when one wishes to disable such programs in an effort to
troubleshoot problems (or simply to free up resources wasted by unnecessary
programs) they must do so manually...dragging shortcuts out of the startup
folder, editing the Registry using REGEDIT and adding semicolons to WIN.INI
via SYSEDIT. In Windows 98 Microsoft makes disabling such TSR (Terminate and
Stay Resident) "background" programs easy to disable via a very convenient
utility called MSCONFIG however prior to Win98 complicated DIY procedures
were required.
The freeware utilities available on this page are "MSCONFIG-like" utilities
providing one easy-to-use central location where one can disable TSR
programs from loading automatically at startup on eithera short-term or
ongoing basis. They support the convenience of the built in Win98
functionality under Windows 95.

Also, I would think that the startup apps that are listed on the 'Startup'
Site you mentioned, would apply to any Windows operating system, as most of
them are put there by 3rd party applications.
