most likely check the options for the application and uncheck the box "show at startup" or check your startup folder in Start>all programs>startup and check for anyhtign there that you dont want

Go into your Startup folder in the start menu; check which content is in this folder for stuff you don't want to run at startup. Everything in that folder will run at startup. Secondly, run MSCONFIG by going to the start menu, selecting "RUN" and typing "MSCONFIG". Click the tap at the top entitled "Startup" and then uncheck whichever programs you do not want to run at startup. By removing extra programs you will save alot of processing power so your computer can boot more quickly.

Go to "run" (option seen when you press 'start' on the toolbar) and type "msconfig". Then you would get a window in which you would have a tab called startup. There you can remove the networking check during startup. Hope this helped.

Assuming Windows XP....\nStart button / Run / type in "msconfig" (without the quotes)\nGo to the Startup tab of the window that opens\nUncheck anything that you do not want to start when the computer is turned on. (If you change your mind, you can come back and recheck them)

On windows XP or similar go start - all programs - startup. Find the programs you don't want to run at startup, right mouse click on them and go to the delete option.

Go to the control pannel and go to add remove programs there you can remove it.  IF not you have to stop the service that is running it.  Hit control+alt+delete click on the process tab find the process and end it then you can delete the files.  Or click start>run> type in MSCONFIG then click on the startup tab on the right and uncheck the programs you don't want to start up this will help out too.

buddy go to your "taskbar(it contains "start","quick launch") - the big bar at the bottom". Right click on it and then go to "properties". Select "Start Menu" tab and then click on "customize" button, then click on the "advanced" tab and finally click on "clear list" button. Then click "ok" and then "apply".
