No
Do exactly what MDS said.
1. Click on the start button
2. Point your mouse to the Run
3. Type in msconfig
4. hit enter

then click the start up tab
See whats running and take what you want out that you don't want in start up.

Before you "kill" some of those running proceses you might want to go to this site Startup Program and Executable Listing and see if what your stopping to run is in fact needed.
