Well that worked but i am getting a message to reset back to

murphylake,

Check the box on that warning message to tell Windows to not display it again. Other options are to delete the program's entry from the registry (see this), use a startup utility program to prevent the program from starting (an excellent freeware one is here), or looking in the program itself under Options or Preferences to see if there is an entry that tells the program to start when Windows starts (and unselect it).

Thanks a ton for the help it worked now i dont have all that junk starting up. Thanks Again!
