Follow these Steps to Install Boot-Up- Manager

Go to Applications > Add and Remove Applications
-
The Add/Remove Applications window is shown. Search for boot in the search text box. Check Boot-Up-Manager and click on OK to install.
-
Click on Apply in confirmation popup. Boot-Up-Manager is installed successfully.

Disabling the below listed scripts doesn't disturb your PC
-
ntpdate: a utility that updates the system clock on each reboot.
-
pcmcia: used only with laptops if one has PCMCIA cards.
-
ppp: point-to-point protocol used only if you have a modem. Disabled the built-in modem in my desktop and only use a network interface card.
-
powernowd: Use an AMD processor with Ubuntu and this service does not work with AMD.
-
rsync: a utility that provides fast incremental file transfer if you wish to mirror or back up data.
-
fetchmail: a utility to retrieve and forward mail and act as a gateway to smtp. If you are a Linux groupware client, do not use this utility.
-
postfix: a mail transfer agent similar to sendmail. Use a mail server from my ISP and our company domain.
Reboot the PC and find the difference.

sudo apt-get install sysv-rc-conf
Read http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=89491 - they propose this "not-smarter-than-you" utility (terminal, but ok).
