What is the location of startup programs in Windows Registry

[windows_user]

This is very basic thing which I am asking but may be quiet useful to most of us like me. I would like to know where can I get the startup programs on my system from Windows registry? Please help! I want to make my computer boot faster and so thinking of to stop many of the unknown and useless applications to run in the background.

Usually the registry keys are loaded in the following order:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServicesOnce

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce
