Most are usually started via the Registry, although some are started via the Start Menu, Startup folder. Click Start, Run and enter MSCONFIG Go to the Startup tab and look for things you don't recognize, or can't determine whether they're valid or not. Uncheck them.
For a more usable display, you might want to see www.dougknox.com, Win XP Utilities, Startup Programs Tracker. You can't disable the programs from here, but it does give a much more "readable" display.
