Any way to get rid of this crap without having to ctrl-alt-del every one of them every time I restart the computer? I have a P3 866 w/ 512 ram and when my computer loads up I'm already down to 36% free memory just because of this horseshit! Anything I can do to fix this?

what operating system? there's a startup folder and there is an area in the registry for run and runservices, things in those locations will get loaded.

Lee355,

Which specific programs / services are starting automatically? You can disable pretty much anything.

Has a utility "startup monitor" that will let you disable all the crap that loads and keep software from installing itself without your permission....
