Msconfig. Drop a few key items from the startup (after logon) sequence and the time from logon to a working desktop will dramatically decrease.

Mark Russinovich’s Autoruns.exe from http://live.sysinternals.com/ is much better.

Yes, but knowing which items to drop..that is the question. drop the wrong items and you might find your net connection tanks, or xp won’t boot.

Spybot S&D in "Advanced" mode allows you to change startup items in windows and it's a great malware remover.

Autoruns in the Sysinternals suite (now from Microsoft) is way better. Or Startup.cpl by Mike Lin
