Most likely, you are referring to the items in the notification area, the
area next to the clock. You need to go into those applications and check
the options for each and disable start with windows or start on boot up.

Also, check the Startup folder on the Start menu as it may list those items
and others the you may not wish to run on startup.

You can also go to Start and type msconfig in the run box and press enter
and check the Startup tab. Do not disable any system items, only disable
applications you do not wish to run on startup. Check the following website
for information about Windows XP services including those that start on
bootup:
