You identify each program and then go to preferences/options for the program
and uncheck any box that relates to auto starting..

Could anyone explain to me how to turnoff programs in XP that
automatically
start when you boot the computer. Older versions of Windows allowed for
this
in an easy way. I can find the list of programs that automatically start
up
when XP boots, but there is no allowance to turn specific start-up
programs
on-or-off....How does one do this with XP?

Thanks for the help and support
