Go to Start|Run, type
msconfig and click OK. On the Startup tab locate the entry which is launching the unwanted application(s) and uncheck it/them. Some applications may also have an entry under Options or Preferences which allows you to stop the program from launching when Windows starts.
After you modify the contents of the Startup tab you will receive a warning that you are running Windows using selective startup for troubleshooting. Check the box on that prompt to tell Windows not to display it again.
You can get FREE program called Startup Control Panel to List Auto Startup Folders & HKEYS & Add / Remove auto start programs from; http://www.mlin.net/StartupCPL.shtml
After install use Control Panel switch to Classic View & select "Program" , you can also create Desktop shortcut by right click on Control Panel "Program". To Temp remove , remove tick & doesn't give Startup message like MSCONFIG. Is provides a more permanent Delete than removing tick from MSCONFIG. ------------------- You should also check the unwanted Auto startup programs for Option not to start with Windows.
