    My startup folder is empty, however i know that there should be stuff there, for example messenger starts up automatically on startup, im in the start folder, then startup subfolder, is that the only place??

    get autoruns from www.sysinternals.com

    there are LOADS of places where things startup from

    Messenger wouldnt be in the startup folder, as Capt'n Midnight said there are a lot of places related to the startup of programs in Windows.

    Start -> Run -> msconfig (Startup items are safe to mess with; obviously, leave anything anti-virus alone. For services: hide microsoft services before you go disabling.)
    Unticked = "don't start automatically when the machine does."
    Ticked = "do start..."
    This doesn't remove the software - just it's starting...

    BINGO, thank you. The amount of cr@p in there, no wonder my laptop was taking so long to boot up.

    Even more than MS config shows if you dont mind a bit of regedit back up first go to run regedit HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run and look at whats there also HKEY_Local_machine\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

    Deleting any keys here will stop them from starting at boot up
