Stop Program Starts Windows

To prevent unwanted programs from launching automatically when Windows starts, you can remove tasks from the Windows task scheduler.

To navigate to the C:\windows\tasks folder: Click on the Start menu, then click My Computer Under Hard Disk Drives, click Local Disk (C:) Double-click the Windows folder Double-click the Tasks folder

The folder will contain a list of tasks that are scheduled to run automatically. Drag and drop the unwanted task shortcuts onto the desktop or a different folder (You can delete them at a later time, if you want). Tasks you remove from this folder will not run automatically in the future, unless you set them up to do so again.
