Go to Start->Run, type in "msconfig" hit enter. Click on
the startup tab in the window that comes up. Uncheck
anything that you don't want to startup.

It is best to check if the program has any option of its own to run when
windows starts, then change that. If you uncheck items in MSconfig -
Startup you can clear the item totally by leaving it checked, and then
remove the entry from the Location indicated on the right. HKLM and
HKCU by running regedit.exe and deleting the relevant line in the right
pane at
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
or
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
respectively

For Startup or Common Startup, right click the Start Button, take open
or Open All users respectively, then open the Programs folder in the
Window and then the Startup folder and delete the item from that
