Autoruns would make this very easy, I use it to control items I want to
start up and do not want to start up.
If I click on the logon tab, it shows me everything set to automatically run
upon my startup and I can simply remove the check from items I do not want
to start. I just looked and sidebar.exe is included in the item list.
Don't have to go through msconfig, and can easily restore items you want to
start up once again.
