I was wondering this also,I tried Chip's location to no avail.......So I did a lil' googling and found this location........I had like 10 items I didn't use or want and now it's all cleaned up  ;D

l use Winpatrol, it's brilliant, not only does it show startup files, but it explains what the file is, and wether it's safe to remove. ;)

only prob is l had to buy Winpatrol pro for about $10. but i've used it for the last three years and it's been worth every penny/cent.
l't explains what every file is, and does. it's a bit of a drag going through cookies, but if there is anything hiding in there you will find it :)

To disable most of the startup items that you do not want go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Back it up
Delete what's not needed
Reboot
