I have an annoying icon that keeps appearing in my system try after
startup. I don't want to uninstall the app because I (rarely) use it.
It doesn't have an option to turn off launching on startup. How do I
stop an app from running on startup?
 
Or, you can just go to Start>Run and type in

msconfig

in the box. When that opens, go to the startup tab and deselect the
program. The next time you restart your pc you will get a popup type
message that informs you that you have made a change to the way your pc
starts..just check the box that says don't show me this again.
 
Msconfig will work 98% of the time its only if your using clever or malicious
software that it wont show up in msconfig so i think you should be ok using
lvees's help, also use google and search for a prog called hijackthis, it
find everything that you might not want running, to see what starts up look
for the apps with hkm//run next to them.
