or you can hold down the shift key as soon as you get the happy mac icon. that
will disable all extensions. 

...
   When ever I
boot, before the Finder comes up, there's about 5 icons In the
 lower left-hand corner.  I know that one is MS Mail, and the other is for  a
  network.  I'm not sure what the other icons
are for.  I'd like to get rid  of
  > these programs (extensions?) that are running in the background, since all

up memory.  I can't access them after Finder opens, and
 nothing happens when I click on them before it opens.

 Any suggestions?
