Question Programmes running in the background

Could someone please shed some light on the following.

When I run certain Norton or Windows utilities a message comes up stating that I should close all running programmes. When I select CTRL/ALT/DEL I am surprised to see how many are running in the background that I have not opened. These clearly start up automatically when I turn on the computer.

My question therefore is how do I control what starts up and what doesn’t.

My computer is a PII-233, and I do not want to have any programmes running in the background unnecessarily.

I would appreciate your help in solving this matter.

Regards, GMS
