I get several programs that automatically start when I restart the compter.
One is the media player, one is just the explore files. How do I stop them
from doing that? I've looked and looked to no avail

Begin with

Start --> Run

msconfig

Startup tab.

Once you locate where they startup from, act accordingly.

Sorry but msconfig does not operate in the Windows 2000 only for XP
