Start | Run | "msconfig" | last tab: "Startup"
uncheck at your pleasure.
If its not in there check the system.ini and win.ini tabs (or files).
Still looking? Scan for viruses...

Well, step 1 is to find out what's starting them. There are several
different things that can do it. To find out which one is doing it use
System Information
[Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> System Information]
Choose the [Software Environment -> Startup Programs] section. The
"Loaded From" column tells you what is loading the program.
If "Loaded From" says "Startup Group", then it should mean that the
program is in the StartUp folder.
If "Loaded From" says "Win.ini" then you need to edit Windows\Win.ini.
Look for a line like "load=******.EXE" and clobber it (having saved a
copy first, just in case).
If "Loaded From" says "Registry (...)", then you need to edit the
registry. Editing the registry is a bit of a black art, and I can't
possibly describe how to do it here, but the main tool you will need is
windows\regedit.exe.
As far as I know, there may be other possible values of "Loaded From".

Back up your data. Reformat the drive. Install Linux.

Problem is, I only have a Zip drive, and I figure all the stuff I'd
wanna keep is more than the four disks I have (zipped up, 100M disks).

You must check for lines under
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/software/microsoft/windows/currentversion/run
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/software/microsoft/windows/currentversion/runservices
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/software/microsoft/windows/currentversion/run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/software/microsoft/windows/currentversion/runservices
HKEY_USERS/DEFAULT/software/microsoft/windows/currentversion/run
HKEY_USERS/DEFAULT/software/microsoft/windows/currentversion/runservices
Don't delete that pseudofolders, but the associated keys you want in
each one.
