Speeding up windows

When I log into windows, various things load up in the background. It takes a little over two minutes for everything to load up so it's not like I'm waiting 20 minutes. Anyway, using System Mechanic, I have a little over 160 items loading up, excluding operating system files. On a scale of one to five, with five being the best and one being the worst, where would 160 items fall on the scale? I'm not terribly concerned with the amount of items that are loading up, but every computer has it's own amount.

    If I do what you ask, I have about a third of what I have with System Mechanic. Anyway some of the items in the list with System Mechanic are listed as unknown. With the msconfig, I have about 12 or so items. Point being is that I don't have 160 items with msconfig, mainly because msconfig only shows me vaild and currently running programs.

    go to msconfig then startup and uncheck all those unnecessary programs then restart. 160 seems outrageous to me.
