install coming up unwanted

Recently I find that on boot, windows wants to install something. If I let
it, it goes through the motions, but I am not sure it actually installs
anything. I have added/removed a number of programs recently so I am loathe
to make the changes back just to figure it out. Is there any way to check a
startup file just to see what is being installed?
thanks

Should have mentioned, running win xp service pack two and a mix of office
03 and 07. All of this worked well and I am certain the culprit was either
install or removal of some software.
