I don't have a full answer for you, but take a look under programs -
accessories - system tools - system info.  There is a section under there
called startup programs.  That will tell you which programs are getting
started at startup I believe.  I messed around in this area once before
and was able to find how to change the progs that get started, but since I
never turn off my PC at work, I haven't done that in a while and don't
remeber specifically where in there you will be able to change the progs
started on start up.

Good luck.
