As soon as I strart Windows XP a lot of programs start automatically: all
office programs, explorer, messenger, internet connection... I would like to
remove the automatical start of this program and on starting just going to
the Desktop.

It's not a virus as I have a strong antivirus and doesn't detect any. I have
tryed aswell the "program tasks" but there's nothing there.

Could anyone help me, please? Would really appreciate it.

Thank you.
