    I'm not sure if this will work or not, but in Older Windows versions you could run a program called "msconfig", and Check/Uncheck each startup program individually.
    As far as know which ones you wish to leave in and which ones to Uncheck, I will leave this to someone with more time on their hands, or, if your concerned that some of it is addware/spyware, get a progy like Spysweeper 2000.

    NOTE: Per the tutorial in this Sticky thread < Hijack This Tutorial And How To Post Your Log File > your log file file has been removed. Read the bold print again!!!!! We did not ask for your log.

    Update! Due to Hijack This logs destroying search engine and web site searches, we now ask you do not post your Hijack This log file unless requested by us. It is for advanced users, so if you do not understand how to use it, you do not need it....yet. Instead, please tell us in your post what symptoms you are experiencing so we can try and resolve it that way. When, and if, we ask you to post your log file, please attach it as a file. To do this save the log file and select manage attachments in a new thread to upload it.
