How to - Remove start up items

I know that there is a program that will remove start up items such as Quicktime, that installed themselves without prompting you with a choice. I was wondering if anyone knew what the program was entitled, and where I could find it. Thanks!!

What OS?
Windows 98 and XP you can use the following
Start . Run > msconfig
Hit the startup tab and uncheck anything you don't want to run at startup.

Hey thanks for the help! Do you have any idea what Quicktime would be entitled, because I don't see it there?
