start-up, end task, processed app menu?

does os x 10.4.1 have a startup menu like windows? i know about the startup menu in the users account settings but is there another one?

i am also looking for something like the "end task/processed app" menu that windows has where it shows everything thats being loaded. i want to see what is being loaded at startup.

thanks

Do you mean an "All Users" start up, or like an HKEY reg entry startup?

/Library/StartupItems

Also, running processes are shown by using

/Applications/Utilities/Activity Monitor
