Click Start / Run, then type msconfig.exe and click the OK button. Now check
the entries under the Startup tab.

The startup folder is only one of the several places from which
programs can start automatically at bootup. So that's not a good place
to check.

Much better is running MSCONFIG; that gets most of them, but other
programs are even somewhat better.

Have you ever come across one that would replace bootvis (or bootviz, I
forget now)? I've been looking for a long time for a replacement but
never found anything that recorded the time/order.
