I know that somewhere within Windows I can stop different programs loading
when Windows starts but I dont know/can't remember how to find how to do
this. Can anybody help.
 
Start\Run\msconfig\startup

Here is a site that lists all start up programs and
explains what they are and whether they are needed . you
can also download a list from them in a .exe file

Greetings --

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.
