Step by step instructions would be appreciated.

Thanks.

There's a 'startup' folder in your start menu, put a shortcut to the app you want there.

Startup Control Panel (http://www.mlin.net/StartupCPL.shtml) is pretty good for swapping stuff in and out

No msconfig is not the way to do it in XP.
You should go to control panel/adimin tools/services/
And then select wich ones you want running.

Or a other way is to download end it all.

For services, yes - although it's best to get an adult to help you with services.
He doesn't look like an adult, but this nerd (http://www.blackviper.com/) knows his services.

Ok, and what if it's not a service that you want to run?
