I know this has been discussed in a thread somewhere, but I've spent the last half hour trying to find it in "Search" (it never seems to work for me).

Can someone please tell me how to get to the programs that start up automatically when logging on. I am running WinXP home, 'cos it's taking ages to get to my home page when I log on, I've done disc clean, defrag, registry clean, and even a deep clean but it makes no difference, so I reckon there must be lots of progs I don't know about that are on auto startup (I hope anyway), so I've been trying to find a list to knock some off, but cannot find it.

I would be very grateful for any info so I can stop pulling my hair out, as there's not much left!
