Change Order Of Startup Programs?

Would anyone know how I can change the order in which programs "auto"
startup at boot?

I'm using WinXP Home w/SP2.
Most of my startup applications startup via HKLM with 1 or 2 from HKCU.

I use a DSL "always on" connection. At present, my network connection is
established before my Norton Internet Security software starts up.

Is there a way I can force Norton Internet Security (Anti-Virus) to startup
first, especially before the DSL connection is established?

If it has to be that all hardware drivers and software load before any
add-on software. Is there a way to delay DSL communication for maybe 15-30
seconds (at boot) to give Norton time to load?

Thanks for any help!

Best regards,
Richard in Va.
