If you just want them disabled for your present session, right click on the icon
in the system tray and click exit or disable.
To permanently remove them, you may have to try a few different things. First, look
in the StartUp folder -- many times you can delete the shortcut from there.
Second, get a copy of a Windows 98 utility called msconfig.exe. It's in the windows
or windows\system directory. Once you run it in Windows 2000, it will give you several
errors, such as it can't find the autoexec.bat or the config.sys files -- just ignore
and click through the errors. It will then give you a list of programs that are
started when Windows 2000 boots. You can check or uncheck programs you don't want
started during boot up.
Finally, you can disable some programs by going to the start/programs/administrative
tools folder and running Services. You can change a service from starting automatically
to starting manually.
