icy i mean programs that physicaly start running as soon as windows turns itself on, such as msn. not just the name of programmes in the start menu!

you need to look in the registy.
start > Run > Regedit
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > Software > Microsoft > Windows > Current Version > Run
Clear some shit out of here. this is where alot of software, and viruses start from
delete stuff like winzip, winamp agent and quicktime etc..
but nothing that looks important to windows

the msconfig from an XP machine will work on windows 2000 if you dont want to edit the registry

I'm gonna do mine soon too. Few things now not working as they should -- i.e. USB not USB 2.0 as it should be
