I went in there and took a few items out. No idea how much of an improvement
it's been, though.
There's quite a few more ways a program can start besides from the
Startup menu. Launch `msconfig` and disable anything you know you don't
want. Doing that might have some side-effects... still looking into
that myself.

Everthing in the startup tab of msconfig is technically optional for
windows to operate.
Now looking at the system services is another story, although there are
several you can safely disable and some that you can set to manual so
they only turn on when you want.
Example: Wireless is on be default wether or not you have a wireless card.
