First of all, a couple of questions for you:
What distro do you use (Mandrake, RedHat, SuSE, etc)?
What programs do you want to start automatically?
Now, almost all of this information about you system can be viewed using LinuxConf. Most distros (if not all) will come with this. If you can't find it, then from a bash prompt, look at the 'files' found in /proc. This 'proc' directory (or folder for Windows converts) does not actually contain any files, these 'imaginary' files allow you to view certain things about your system.
Move into the '/proc' dir and type: cat XXXXX, where XXXXX is the 'file' of interest (I suggest you don't do this for kcore as it doesn't contain any readable information!).
