Start > Run type msconfig in the box and click OK then go to the Startup tab, all the items that start with Windows will be listed there.  Before you start disabling items (because some of them are critical to the functioning of Windows) look them up on Google or go to a Process Library like this one, http://www.liutilities.com/products/wintaskspro/processlibrary/ to make sure it isn't a critical item and that it can be safely disabled.  Uncheck any of the items you don't want and once you are done click OK, reboot and the items will be disabled.

Nah, just format D:, assuming you don't have anything there you want. If you do, you'll either need to move what you want to keep off of it first, or you can just go through and delete it manually. As long as you're booting from C: it shouldn't be using any of the windows files on D:, so you wont have any problem deleting them.

If you are using Windows 98 SE then just check the autoexec.bat file in C:&#92; check whether the path to the system folder is mentioned there. If it is there then you may remove it but before removing do consult with a knowledgeable person coz I dont know your exact configuartion.

I use a program called winpatrol. It lets youknow what programs boot at start up and will give you some pretty good info about them. It also will delete cookies as you get them and shows EVERY program that is currently running. pretty handy tool and free to boot.
