Where is the list of Programs launched at Start up stored?

Where can I find (and modify) the list of programs that
are launched at Startup (i.e. when I turn on the machine)?

Various places .... See for example

I don't even think it lists them all ...

Hi, fmicaeli.

As Joep said, there are many places from which a program may start. The
most common is in the Startup folder. (Click Start | All Programs | Startup
to see the contents of this folder.)

WinME and WinXP include a program called msconfig.exe, but Win2K does not
have this. If you can find a copy of the WinXP version, it will run in
Win2K, with a couple of minor aggravations. This program will help you
identify programs and services and control how - and whether - they load at
startup.
