Startup Delayer [ works in Win 9x, 2K, XP, Vista, 7]
This is really nice.  Like Msconfig with meaningful descriptions.  Allows you to delay the various programs at startup to a later time so that the boot process goes quicker.

Remove Shovelware [works in Win 2K, Xp, Vista, 7]
This is really a good utility to uninstall programs and their registry entries - but be careful on the advanced removal.  Also has several other built in utilities like the start up editor (similar to the one above).
