Disabling programs when you start up

Sarjsmith

I have spent the last two hours trying to use windows help to find out how to stop programmes such as Microsoft outlook starting up whenever I turn on my computer(its taking ages to start up because so many programmes are opening) I use windows xp and it tells me to go to properties in the start menu and disable them from there but Outlook and some other programmes aren't there. i ususally find the answers in this forum to my problems but can't seem to find this
Can anybody help
TIA

press the windows key(next to alt) on your keyboard and R

then type msconfig in the pop up and run it.

Disable startup programs from there.
