Try this. If its not a windows 2000 machine. Go to Start, Run and type in msconfig.
Click on the startup tab. Uncheck stuff that isn't essential to windows. Like if you have AIM or Real Player or all that type of stuff appearing next to the time when you start up make sure anything related to them is unchecked. Also any stuff like Easy CD creator can go. This won't delete them, it just makes sure they won't start right when you boot up. When you're done, hit Apply and then let the computer restart. Also, even though like you said, it may take a while, go to the start menu again and go to Programs and find the section that says Startup. Delete any links in this part by right clicking them and deleting them. Again this won't delete the programs, just keep them from starting at boot. See if this helps you out any. You may have to reboot a time or two while the computer gets itself reconfigured depending on which Windows you're using.
