Default Remove programs from startup

How do I do this for Windows XP? It seems all I can do is
view them but I want to remove a few of them.

Click Start | Run | MSCONFIG | Startup tab
Uncheck the items.

To clear out the already disabled entries,

On each program you don't want to start automatically, check its
Options to see if it has the choice not to start. Many can easily
and best be stopped that way. If that doesn't work, run MSCONFIG
from the Start | Run line, and on the Startup tab, uncheck the
programs you don't want to start automatically.
