Dg3Nr8, I agree with both your solutions, and especially the order in which you wrote them...
As an alternative to your second step you can click START, RUN and type in MSCONFIG then click OK. Click the STARTUP tab and UNcheck or re-check anything you don't want to load.
What you said IS the same thing, I think, I just thought it might be a little easier to find this way...
