if you click run, then type 'msconfig' and press enter you will get a dialoge box. if you goto startup you can deselect cirtain things from starting. if you have XP however you may need a different program, because otherwise xp will complain that you are using 'selective startup' every time [img]smile.gif[/img]
hope this helps
edit: animal, startup folder doesnt hold half the programs msconfig does, but it is useful if you want a program like samurize to start on boot

I assumed the question was related to third party software, so it is the easiest method to use when having programs start of logon. When dealing with integrated programs, msconfig is the only way to go, but you have to add programs manually to the registry if you want to use msconfig for third party programs, not the best idea for some people.
XP will only 'complain' once when using selective startup as long as you check the "Don't ask me again" dialogue the first time.
