Several ways to do this. Here's just a few of them:
** Check the program's menus for a way to disable it at startup. These may
be tucked away in the right- or left-click menus of the tray icons. Or in the
menus of the main program.
** Use Start> Run> MSCONFIG and on the Startup page, uncheck the boxes of
programs you do not want loading at startup.
** Check the Startup folder in the Start menu for any program shortcuts.
Delete the ones you don't want by right clicking on the them and selecting
Delete.
