When I boot up several programs load that I dont want to run. How can I
remove these programs from the startup menu?
In addition how can I stop programs from going and looking for updates every
time I boot up?

Autoruns

Autoruns is a Microsoft program which displays a list of all running
programs and allows you to turn them off. Be careful, don't turn off anything
unless your sure it's unnecessary.

Hi,
All reputable programs will have an Option or settings to allow or disallow
them from Start Up with windows, so try the configurations Option first.
Then you can take them OFF from here:
C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Start menu\Programs\StartUp = look in the
right Pane/window and remove the Programs/apps you don't want to start up
with the OS.
Also the updates can run if the program(s) running an Update service in
Services control panel, so try to make it/set it to manual instead of Auto.
Then try the Autoruns.exe
HTH.

Click start---run---type in msconfig click startup tab and select/deselect
the programs there.

Go to each program in startup that you do not want to start up automatically
and look in Options, Preferences or whatever for anything that may be
checked against starting up when Windows starts.

Do NOT use MSCONFIG to do this. Unchecking programs in a bid to stop them
installing at start up is bad practice. MSCONFIG should only be used in this
manner to diagnose problems. It should never been seen as the FINAL
SOLUTION..

Do you know what configure means/is?

You may wish to learn the correct method, before you call it "misguided".

Either look for the auto-update option in the particular program options
and disable it or get a firewall that can block outbound program
traffic.

I use Zone Alarm

You never edit the startup folder?
