Try Autoruns. http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/Autoruns.html
>From their website:
This utility, which has the most comprehensive knowledge of
auto-starting locations of any startup monitor shows you what programs
are configured to run during system bootup or login, and shows you the
entries in the order Windows processes them. These programs include
ones in your startup folder, Run, RunOnce, and other Registry keys.
You can configure Autoruns to show other locations, including Explorer
shell extensions, toolbars, browser helper objects, Winlogon
notifications, auto-start services, and much more. Autoruns goes way
beyond the MSConfig utility bundled with Windows Me and XP.
