Hi simonafa
Simply go to Start - Run and type msconfig
Then go to the Startup tab and you can untick what you don't want to run at startup

Msconfig will get some of the stuff, but to get a much better idea of what is starting with your computer download and run Autoruns. There are a lot of tabs in the program, but the two you want to check are Logon and Services. Most of the junk programs that you don't want to start up will be under Logon. Just uncheck any program that isn't needed at startup. This will take effect on the next reboot.

BE VERY CAREFUL UNDER THE SERVICES TAB! Unless you know for sure that you don't need a service to run automatically, do not disable it.
