Those icons represent programs that are running. It is always better to stop
programs from starting with Windows from within the programs themselves, so
look in their Options before changing anything with msconfig - you're just
examining things at this stage. If a program doesn't offer any way to
control startup from its Preferences, then use msconfig to uncheck the box
next to its name, Apply and OK out.

Start Orb>Start Search box>msconfig [enter]

If you are prompted for an administrator password or for a confirmation,
type the password, or click Continue. Then see what is on the Startup tab.
You don't need to restart immediately, but the next time you do you'll get
a dialog saying you've used the Utility. Usually in Vista this will be
blocked by Windows Defender and you'll need to allow it so you can then
tick the box that says in effect, "don't bother me about this again".

Important - Do not use the System Configuration Utility to stop processes.
Instead, use Start>Run>services.msc [enter] and do not stop any services
unless you really, really know what you're doing.

The free Autoruns program is very useful for managing your Startup -
