All about disabling programs at startup

Win XP Utilities, Startup Programs Tracker. This utility tracks the common startup
vectors and will show you what is loading at startup and from where. The included
Help gives a brief tutorial with some good information on removing the entries that
the program finds.

I like to use Process Explorer which is free from SysInternals. Almost all
legitimate processes that track back to an executable will have a publisher
name associated with it and that can usually help you determine what the
process is for and if the executable is digitally signed or not. As others
have suggested searching on Google will also usually find you information
about a legitimate process. --- Steve
