Have a look at these sites for help with programs running at start up.

A good process viewer will tell you everything that is running, to include
background processes. Try Process Explorer, free from
www.sysinternals.com
.
CTRL-ALT-DEL will bring up the End Task window, however, it will not show
every running process. Most apps can be disabled from within the app
itself by using Properties or Settings or Options......the best way to
disable an app.
Here are some sites that will help you trim your startup axis......they
will
tell you what is needed and what is 'fluff.'
