Best way to create different start-ups?

I have a Dell Latitude laptop running XP Pro SP2. It has WiFi,
firewall, spyware and AV software that runs at every start-up.

I have one certain situation where I use the laptop on a regular basis
in which I will never need the WiFi and anti-malware software to run.
I'd like to create a start-up profile that does not include these so I
don't have to wait until everyone finishes their scans and checks and
connection attempts before I can have my machine back!!

Is it easy enough to create a separate profile that would do this? Or
would I need to investigate smoe kind of script that would toggle
these? (Also, as part of this one specific use, I use the laptop's
video driver to rotate the screen 90 degrees to the right so I can use
the machine open and on its left edge. It's almost a perfect 8 1/2 x
11 that way. It would be great if I could include this rotation in
the start-up profile - just one less thing to do manually.)

Look at Hardware Profiles, look in your Help files for more information.
