Answer 1

Go into your control panel, then go to the programs part/icon, and there will be a thing to click on there that says, "change start up programs". Go in that, find the program and click disable.

You should be all Good then!!! If you have any problems, Just let me know! Message me on here or something, k!

Answer 2

First, check your startup folder in your start menu->all programs. If it's there, delete it.

If that doesn't help, install winpatrol (http://www.winpatrol.com/) and it has a tab that lets you manage startup applications.

Answer 3

Start -> Run, type msconfig -> Startup, just uncheck applications that you don't want to run during stratup
