spybot can be configured to stop programs on autopilot.

What OS are you running? In XP, MSCONFIG can stop all applications if you disable them. It's in the startup tab.

most window tools that work upon boot aren't located in msconfig

google startupcop

 

[psman]

Yeah MSconfig startup tab contains applications that runs after log on (firewalls,desktop softwares) but here i need to desable the (pre-logon tasks ) i think they can be DOS applications only

 

[EricB]

yeah and I see startupcop is no longer free

 

[psman]

Yeah I once found it and deleted it now it says "program not found" so there is somthing else pointing to it
