Question

Can I use Windows Task Manager to stop Programs from running on Startup?

Answer 1

No.  You can only use it to terminate a running program.  To disable a program from running on start up.  Go Start->All Prorgrams->Startup and delete the short cut here.  Or go Start->Run, type msconfig, click the startup tab and take the check-mark of the program

Answer 2

No. You have to use msconfig. You can use Windows Task Manager to terminate any program running with no problem if you know what you're doing, though.

Answer 3

Use a program called CCleaner. 10/10
