Killing a process on startup in Win2K

I have a process that starts automatically on bootup that saps system resources (~50MB of RAM out of 128MB!) in a big way, but that I don't need running in the background all the time (I won't say what it is, but it rhymes with monocle). Is there any way I can kill it automatically (or prevent it from loading at all) on bootup?

Thanks,
Jason
 
You can do it one of two ways. First there is a file in your start menu that says startup. If it is in there, just delete it. If it is not in there, hit start, accessories, system tools, tools, then there is some sort of system configuration app there. I can't remember what it is called anymore (I run XP and it is not there), but you can select what starts up and what does not.
 
lz, you da man! That was the ticket! Now I can configure what services start automatically and everything - this is great! Thanks dude! Too many exclamation points!

Jason!
