    6 items? is that in your startup folder or whats listed under the startup tab in msconfig?

    The usual culprits are anti-virus or backup software checking or backing up your registry.

    Uncheck everything bar the essentials (i'm running 2000 so can't quickly check what they are for you) and see if that can narrow it down a bit.
