Natively you can; Start\Settings\Control Panel\Administrative Tools\Computer Management(Local)\System Information\Software Environment\Startup Programs|View|Advanced, then in the "Location" column, you'll find the path to the "Startup" location either in the "Startup" directories or from the registry's "Run" keys. (note that this window is read-only so you must manually navigate to the location below to edit or otherwise delete)
%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
%USERPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
You can delete the shortcuts that you no longer want to run.
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
You can delete the string value for the program you no longer want to run.
or copy msconfig from Windows XP to the "windows" directory or AutoRuns for Windows from Windows Sysinternals
