In Mandrake control center there should be an option to enable/disable services at bootup. Look around there and see if you can change anything.
As for a windows emultator, wine (Yes yes, technically not an emulator) can run a few apps and is free. Cedega is good for games but costs money. There are some other commercial ones as well, but I don't know how well they work.
