I have windows xp. I want to remove/disable applications
from loading during the startup. (I have too many.) I have
tried run, msconfig, startup and I can't find the
particular application I am looking to disable. Any help
would be appreciated.
 
The application's own options is the best place to look. Other than that, since you can't find it in MSCONFIG, more information on the specific application would be helpful.

In most cases, with "well-mannered" applications, it's usually as
simple as opening the undesired program and deselecting the option to
"display icon in the system tray" or to "start when Windows starts."

Additionally, Look in the C:\Documents and Settings\All
Users\Start Menu\Programs\Start Up and C:\Documents and
Settings\username\Start Menu\Programs\Start Up folders, and in the
system registry, primarily in the
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run and
HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run keys.
