Sure, there are many applications out there for disabling automatic startup of programs on Windows. But this one is from Sysinternals
This utility, which has the most comprehensive knowledge of auto-starting locations of any startup monitor, shows you what programs are configured to run during system bootup or login, and shows you the entries in the order Windows processes them. These programs include ones in your startup folder, Run, RunOnce, and other Registry keys. You can configure Autoruns to show other locations, including Explorer shell extensions, toolbars, browser helper objects, Winlogon notifications, auto-start services, and much more. Autoruns goes way beyond the MSConfig utility bundled with Windows Me and XP.
Autoruns‘ Hide Signed Microsoft Entries option helps you to zoom in exclusively on third-party auto-starting images that have been added to your system while hiding the essential MS Windows images that start with windows. It’s basically something like an advanced MSConfig version.

Dynamic storage is supported in Windows 2000 and Windows XP Professional. Dynamic disk does not use partitions / logical drives. Instead, it contains dynamic volumes, such as simple volumes, spanned volumes, striped volumes, mirrored volumes and RAID 5 volumes created by Disk Management Console.
Dynamic Disks are very flexible. The number of volumes that you can create on a physical hard disk is only limited by the amount of free space available. You can also extend a volume, if it needs more space (if unallocated space is available). Dynamic storage management lets you manage disks and volumes even without a need to restart Windows after a change has been made.
Windows XP Professional can repair a corrupted database on one dynamic disk by using the database on another dynamic disk.
You can upgrade from Basic to Dynamic storage any time. Sstart Disk Management (Start > Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance > Administrative Tools > Computer Management > Disk Management). Right-click the Basic disk you want to convert to Dynamic, and click Convert to Dynamic Disk.
Note: After you convert to a dynamic disk, the dynamic volumes cannot be changed back to partitions. You must first delete all dynamic volumes on the disk, and then convert the dynamic disk back to a basic disk. If you want to keep your data, you must first back up or move the data to another volume. Also, do not try Dynamic Disks with multi boot OSes like multiple installations of WIndows on a single system.
