Start button -> Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> System Information -> Tools menu -> System Configuration Utility -> Startup tab

There is a run command for this, but I always forget it...

(for NT) open regedit:

go to

HKey Local Machine, Software, Microsoft, Windows, Current Version, Run

you should see your programs there
