I have 5 children and they seem to keep adding all these programs that think they need to run in the start up. Therefore it takes a long time for our computer to start all the way up.

Clean Registry and Optimize PC
Get a copy of ERUNT to back up the registry before you mess with it. Be sure you understand how to restore the registry before you change anything.
If you don't know what you are doing don't mess with the registry.
Also, with five kids you many have other problems like Ad-ware etc. . . Have you tried Spybot S&D or the freeware versions of Adaware?
Be careful.
You can try runing msconfig from the command line. It's built into windows and let's you control what starts.
Be careful or it won't start at all.
this is not for the registry but just make sure that you don't have any file it the start up folder Start>All Programs>Start Up
Click Start, select run
Type msconfig and click start up at the top.
Deselect any programs that you would not like to run at start up.
