tinksbell: What Fencer said should work. I come across a few computers at work which will have this loaded by a user, and basicly you have to start up the program to go to the options to tell it not to autostart to get it to stop.

I also use a program called "StartupRun" which I find very usefull

Basicly it will show you everything that starts up automaticly on your computer, and you can choose and item and "disable" it from starting up. (You can delete also - but I like disable since if I mess up, and can go back in and reenable it.)

But like everything - BE CAREFULL in what you tell not to start up. Some things are system files and NEED to start up to run your computer. But sometimes I find all kinds of junk which only slows things down. (for example, I don't need no adobe acrobat thing starting up so if I do use acrobat, it will save me 3 seconds.)

Of course now that I look, I'm still useing version 1.20 - guess I will upgrade now while I'm thinking about it.

EDIT UPDATE: Plus the program is VERY small & free
