    There should be something in the options menu, a check box that stops the program from running at start up.

    E.g. Skype

    Tools -> Options -> Start Skype When I start Windows

    Uncheck this box

    there are loads of things at startup you may not need. MSconfig only shows some:

    You may also have services you don't need.

    You can get the used RAM down to 90M on XP.
