If you want to control what programs are starting up on your computer when you boot, I suggest running 'msconfig' from Start->Run and being picky about what starts up. Start by unchecking one or two programs at first and rebooting to make sure your computer is still functional cause yes, believe it or not, Windows does still need kernel32.dll and all that fun stuff to be running :P But yeah, try using msconfig and slowly removing non-necessary stuff from your startup and from your Services. There's a LOT of things that Windows turns on by default in your services that are not required -at all-. If you want to know more about the services, do a search for windows xp services descriptions on google or something of that nature. There is plenty of info out there.
