How do you disable the items from the taskbar?

Question

How you do you do disable taskbar items from appearing in the startup ?

I'm familiar with Windows XP, but I just bought a brand new computer withs VISTA. ( I used to disable them with msconfig )

Same way - you can pull up a terminal prompt and type "msconfig" then click on the "start up" tab and uncheck anything you do not want to start on start up.

The lazy way is to just right click on the icon in your task bar and select "exit" it will exit the program running in the task bar. But it will reappear next time you restart unless you remove it with msconfig.
