It might be worth a look in the startup folder on the start menu to make sure there isn't a shortcut that has been dragged in there by mistake. If it doesn't appear on there, check in the startup tab on "msconfig"
It's where all your applications are listed by clicking the button in the bottom left. There should be a startup folder in the "all programs" list. The msconfig application should list these items anyway, so perhaps just skip to that and see what is listed
Cheers Ian, having a better day today think the beer worked last night!
Still problems, but will be rebuilding the pc in the next few weeks & the hopefully back to Crunching.
