The first place to look is always in the program's options. If there are
no options to not start with Windows, use the System Configuration
Utility.

Start>Run>msconfig [enter]
Look on the Startup tab. Find the probable culprit. Uncheck the box next
to its name, Apply and OK out. You don't need to restart immediately,
but the next time you do you'll get a dialog saying you've used the
Utility. Just tick the box that says in effect, "don't bother me about
this again".
