Starting without background programs
How can you set XP to start without all the background programs.
I did this before, but can't remember how I did it. The machine runs much better, starts twice as fast and is generally healthier.
There's a way to do this through Control Panel, but I can't remember where.
Thanks

Thanks for the info.
Could you help with these questions..
1
What Services can I turn off, and still have the PC run ok, I'd prefer to turn off as much as poss.
2
Is there any way I can turn off Local Area Network, as I cannot get rid of the icon in the toolbar. I keep setting icon to 'never show' but it always comes back.
3
I'm having trouble getting Microsoft Mouse to startup. I can put the icon in the Startup folder, but then the software control box opens every time I restart the machine. How can I get the MS Mouse software to automaticaly start when I restart the machine?
thanks
