you can get Startup Control Panel 2.8

Startup Control Panel is a nifty control panel applet that allows you to easily configure which programs run when your computer starts. It's simple to use and, like all my programs, is very small and won't burden your system. A valuable tool for system administrators!

Startup Control Panel is compatible with all modern versions of Windows, including Windows 95, 98, 98SE, ME, NT 4.0, 2000, and XP.

Paths are stored in the registry.

Also:

C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

If it already starts up on boot up and you want to STOP it go into start > run > msconfig > start up tab and uncheck the program.

If you WANT something to start up throw it in the start up folder under start >"all programs"
