Those apps are being started too early in the boot cycle. There are several
ways to delay startup of an app. My preferred way is a script launched in
startup, that then launches the apps after a wait.

--start.vbs--
set shell=createobject("wscript.shell")
wscript.sleep 15000 ' waits 15 secs
shell.run "c:/myfolder/myapp.exe"
shell.run "c:/myfolder2/myapp2.exe"
wscript.quit
--end file--

If using startup is too technical for you, you might consider just starting
the apps manually.

For me to know what to tell you, you would have to know what you wanted done.
I don't think it likely that you could discover what is starting those icons
in the Notification area, and without that info, you are not going to correct
the problem. You should contact some local help to discover what you need to
do.

Could you kindly describe what you mean when you say starting your computer
from 'start'? Or log off to log on?
