when i startup the computer it takes a long time to
startup.
when i Ctrl+Alt+Delete the list shows way too much
programs that should not be running. how do i make it so
that those programs don't come up when i turn on my
computer? please help.

Check the Preferences and/or Options sections for the programs involved and
uncheck any entry relating to them being launched each time the system is
booted. Alternatively, but only as a last resort, uncheck any associated
entry on the Startup tab of MSConfig (Start, Run, enter MSConfig, & click OK).

TYPE MSCONFIG.A SYSTEM PROPERTIES WINDOW WILL COME UP
CLICK THE STARTUP TAB.A LIST OF PROGRAMS WILL APPEAR
UNCHECK THE PROGRAMS YOU DON'T WANT TO START.DON'T
UNCHECK SYSTEM TRAY.YOU'LL NOTICE A FASTER STARTUP AND
ALL THE ICONS BY YOUR CLOCK WILL BE GONE.
