Windows XP does not require anything for startup [applications]. You may disable all expect your firewall/Anti-virus and your other favorite applications.

Windows doesn't need any of them. The only ones you should run
are those *you* need.
If you are auto-starting programs and you don't know what they
are, you need to do research on each of them individually. Google
is a good place to start, but if you have questions, you can also
ask here--but specify which program(s) you're asking about.

Sirs,
My computer stops boot up at the blue Windows Xp screen
just before showing the users boxes. No task bar or
keyboard action but mouse does works. (But there's nothing
to click on.) Same results if I go to safe mode or try
restoring from last good point.
Any ideas other than reinstallation of OS since I don't
want to lose some files?? Thanks

Tried using VGA mode boot?
Performing a "Repair" installation will not erase your data.

[If repair is not one of the options listed, DON'T PROCEED]
Other option would be to Enable Boot Logging while startup and inspect the log file created in C:\Windows folder [access the file via recovery console]

How do I remove programs from the group that automatically starts up each time?
K
Ken Blake
In
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.

start. Many can easily
tab, uncheck the programs you don't want to start
automatically.Yes, that's fine, but the next time WXP starts, the
unwanted program starts again and has a checkmark in the
msconfig/startup window.
I was told there is an option in the Start
window 'Settings', an 'advanced' Tab there would work,
but I do not see Settings or an 'advanced' Tab there.
Any help offered?
This is the advice I got from Ulead Photo Express, which
does not work.
(To remove calendar checker, please follow the steps
below:
1. Click the Start button, then select Settings: "Taskbar
& Start Menu".
2. In the dialog box, click the Advanced Tab and click
the Remove button.
3. In the "Start up" folder, find the "Photo Express
calendar checker" option and click the Remove button.)

The Ulead advice is for older versions of Windows or for the current XP
user when running in Classic Mode. It doesn't take All Users into
consideration. However, it does suggest that there is a shortcut for this
bothersome calendar program in a startup folder, somewhere.
Try this:
Right click the Start button and select Explore All Users. AWindows
Explorer window will open with the focus on Documents and Settings\All
Users\Start Menu. Drill down to the Startup folder for All Users from there
and check for a shortcut to that calendar checker. If found, delete it.

That did the trick, thanks very much.
