Hold down the LEFT SHIFT BUTTON as soon as the startup screen says "Starting Windows" ... and keep holding it until your desktop is fully loaded, and the blue ring stops spinning ...

This stops most applications from loading when windows start ... and will at least get you in, so you can start the cleanup
