Install Spybot Search & Destroy.
Use the Mode:Advanced menu to get to the Tools->System Startup.
You can uncheck items you would like to disable without uninstalling them

there are many items you can live without, such as ALL auto-update services
which can always be run manually :knock: Why hog the processor/memory for
something that is needed infrequently?
