When a Spotify song is clicked somewhere on the web, it automatically opens up in the desktop application. Is that feature worth the added burden to your bootup time? If you have a webcam, you will likely have CyberLink's YouCam for your software. Thus, "they" the manufacturers feel it should automatically startup. So what does it do when it starts up?

Microsoft Office is the most well-known office suite around. But what good does it do for you when starting up? If you disable it, can you still open any files? Can you launch any of the programs manually? Are there any features that you can't take advantage of? Allowing it to start up is merely a burden on your system. Keep in mind that this applies to any alternative office suites as well.
System Configuration is a great local tool to use for managing startup applications and services. As a Windows user, you will also notice that the Startup tab in the System Configuration no longer lists the startup applications.
It appears as though to prevent services from starting up, you must still uncheck them in System Configuration , as stopping them in the Task Manager only stops them at that time, and they will start again when the system reboots.

Do I really need all of my protection programs like virus and spyware to load at start-up? Some programs have a built-in setting to enable or disable them from running on startup. Each program is different, but it's usually in a settings or configuration menu.
Many programs don't have a startup setting because most operating systems can automatically manage which programs run on startup.
