Greetings --

In most cases, one need only open the offending program and
deselect the option to "display icon in the system tray" or to "start
when Windows starts."

To view the list of your start up programs, look in the
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Start Up and
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Start Menu\Programs\Start Up
folders, and in the system registry, primarily in the
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run and
HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run keys. These can
also be viewed, if I remember correctly, by right-clicking My
Computer, selecting "Manage" and expanding System Tools-- System
Information -- Software Environment -- Startup Programs. To prevent
any of them from starting at login, you'll have to delete shortcuts
from the startup folder(s) and/or edit the registry. I should point
out that, in order to make such system modifications requires one to
have administrative privileges to the machine in question. I should
also point out that one should not even consider editing the registry
unless he is fully confident that he knows exactly what is going to
happen as a result of each and every change.

There are three places to look:

1) Click the START button/Programs/STARTUP folder & delete the ones you want
to

2)Click START/Run. Type 'regedit', navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

This will effect all users

3) As No. 2, but this key instead:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

There are other keys, but 99% of the startup programs are listed under the
above two registry keys.

DO NOT DELETE THESE KEYS, but the values in the right pane you want to get
rid of.

I strongly advise that you click the REGISTRY meny & export the RUN key just
to back it up incase you make a mistake

I hope this helps
