There is an utility at Microsoft Technet called autoruns (and it's free). That will list every thing that is scheduled at startup. Included in the list is where that item comes from and the author if known. Directly in the list of items each item can be disable or deleted even has shortcut to search on the web for more information.
One thing that I learned once was that some services do actually startup even if they are set to manual start, I noticed this with some SQLserver services that take a long time to start.
